Description

A kind of two-stage image partition method based on half Local textural feature
Technical field
The present invention relates to image partition method, image procossing, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence field, be specifically related to a kind of two-stage image partition method based on half Local textural feature.
Background technology
Texture Segmentation is a problem the most challenging in image segmentation.Human eye can be easy to tell different textures, but is difficult to be defined texture from the aspect of mathematical term, also therefore is difficult to describe it with a model.Additionally, texture may cause the loss of important edges and the uneven of intensity profile.The definition being widely recognized as at present is: texture is a series of fine characteristic details with periodicity and oscillatory.
Normally used characteristics of image includes: feature, feature based on half local message and feature based on Beltrami framework of based on filtering.Wherein feature such as gradient filtering based on filtering, the filtering of small echo porous have been applied in feature extraction and image segmentation, and the feature extracted by Gabor or Morlet wavelet transformation is to discriminate between the important evidence of the texture of different directions and yardstick;The main method obtaining feature based on half local message is: extracted by the half-tone information of the block adjacent with existing pixel, thus obtain half local message of each pixel, the idea of this block-based characteristic vector proposes first when introducing textures synthesis, later, Buades et al. based on block diversity and non local average proposition to the idea of image noise reduction, Gilboa and Osher framework based on change proposes non local noise reduction model, finally, the diversity that Bresson and Chan is equally based between block proposes a kind of variable unsupervised dividing method;Feature based on Beltrami framework is a kind of new geometric representation of image, characteristics of image is regarded as the Riemann manifold being embedded in higher dimensional space by it, the advantage of this method is that it allows to use different geometry instruments to carry out different image procossing (such as noise reduction and segmentation), and can process the image of any N-dimensional, shortcoming is the most sensitive to noise.Therefore, latter two feature is combined by the present invention, the feature based on half local message extracted is introduced under Beltrami framework by mapping, thus obtains a strongest new textural characteristics of noise immunity.
Being widely known by the people most in image is split and most successful model be exactly the movable contour model first proposed by Kass, Witkin et al., it is successfully applied in medical imaging extraction anatomical structure.But the shortcoming of this model is that the initial position to active contour is very sensitive and bad in the depression boundary convergence of target.Movable contour model is improved by Caselles subsequently, kimmel et al., proposes geometric active contour model (GAC), and this model can obtain preferable segmentation result in image is split, and therefore the segmentation jog section of the present invention just uses this kind of model.
The present invention proposes a kind of dividing method being different from conventional segmentation thinking, is broadly divided into coarse segmentation and two stages are cut in segmentation.First, divide the image into into the non-overlapped block of M × M pixel, extract each piece based on Beltrami framework and the textural characteristics of half local message, then block cluster is carried out with K-means algorithm, picture is divided into four regions, determine the optimum position of target according to photography composition principle, thus extract target, complete coarse segmentation;Finally with geometric active contour model (GAC) target extracted is finely divided and cuts, thus obtain more accurate segmentation result.
Summary of the invention
Present invention is primarily targeted at, propose a kind of first coarse segmentation to go out target object and be finely divided the thought cut again, and combine a kind of based on Beltrami framework with the new textural characteristics of half local message, apply it to cluster and during image splits, obtain segmentation result more accurately.

Finally, textural characteristics describes sub-F and is defined as
Wherein σ > 0 is scale parameter, uses gaussian kernel function as low-pass filtering, controls to describe the degree of image detail.
It addition, for coloured image, derivation is the simplest.Making coloured image is I=(I1,I2,…,IK), wherein k is the dimension of image, and corresponding half local is mapped as:
X:(x,y)→(X1=x, X2=y, X3=Px,y(I1),…,X2+k=Px,y(Ik)) (5)
Corresponding metric tensor is write as following form:
It addition, geometric active contour model can be converted into following minimization problem:
Wherein ds is the length of Euclid's element,Length for curve C.Accordingly, it is capable to functional (7) is, by ds, the function g comprising object boundary information is integrated a new length obtaining in fact, function g is that edge indicator function is for eliminating such asSuch object edge, I0Being original image, β is any normal number.Function E is can get by the calculus of variationsGACEuler-Lagrange equation formula, gradient descent method can minimize E as quickly as possibleGAC:
Wherein,T is the time parameter of artificial regulation, and k, N are respectively curvature and the normal of curve C, the EVOLUTION EQUATION existence and unique solution of the active contour defined in formula (8).The Level Set Method that Osher and Sethian proposes efficiently solves profile extension problem and has processed change in topology problem, and equation (8) can be written as level set form:
