OBJECT SEGMENTATION USING MULTISCALE MORPHOLOGICAL OPERATIONSijcseit
Object segmentation plays an important role in human visual perception, medical image processing and content based image retrieval. It provides information for recognition and interpretation. This paper uses mathematical morphology for image segmentation.

Image processing, arbitrarily manipulating an image to achieve an aesthetic standard or to support a preferred reality. The objective of segmentation is partitioning an image into distinct regions containing each pixels with similar attributes. Image segmentation can be done using thresholding, color space segmentation, k-means clustering.
Segmentation is the low-level operation concerned with partitioning images by determining disjoint and homogeneous regions or, equivalently, by finding edges or boundaries. The homogeneous regions, or the edges, are supposed to correspond, actual objects, or parts of them, within the images. Thus, in a large number of applications in image processing and computer vision, segmentation plays a fundamental role as the first step before applying to images higher-level operations such as recognition, semantic interpretation, and representation. Until very recently, attention has been focused on segmentation of gray-level images since these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to take the computer resources to handle. Nowadays, color image has definitely displaced monochromatic information and computation power is no longer a limitation in processing large volumes of data. In this paper proposed hybrid k-means with watershed segmentation algorithm is used segment the images. Filtering techniques is used as noise filtration method to improve the results and PSNR, MSE performance parameters has been calculated and shows the level of accuracy

SEMANTIC IMAGE RETRIEVAL USING MULTIPLE FEATUREScscpconf
In Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) some problem such as recognizing the similar
images, the need for databases, the semantic gap, and retrieving the desired images from huge
collections are the keys to improve. CBIR system analyzes the image content for indexing,
management, extraction and retrieval via low-level features such as color, texture and shape.
To achieve higher semantic performance, recent system seeks to combine the low-level features
of images with high-level features that conation perceptual information for human beings.

Content based image retrieval based on shape with texture featuresAlexander Decker
This document describes a content-based image retrieval system that extracts shape and texture features from images. It uses the HSV color space and wavelet transform for feature extraction. Color features are extracted by quantizing the H, S, and V components of HSV into unequal intervals based on human color perception. Texture features are extracted using wavelet transforms. The color and texture features are then combined to form a feature vector for each image. During retrieval, the similarity between a query image and images in the database is measured using the Euclidean distance between their feature vectors. The results show that retrieving images using HSV color features provides more accurate results and faster retrieval times compared to using RGB color features.

Region-based color image segmentation is elementary steps in image processing and computer vision. The region-based color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, in which three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimension and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. This paper introduced, an improved algorithm modified moth flame optimization (MMFO) algorithm for RGB color image segmentation which is based on bio-inspired techniques. The simulation results of MMFO for region based color image segmentation are performed better as compared to PSO and GA, in terms of computation times for all the images. The experiment results of this method gives clear segments based on the different color and the different number of clusters is used during the segmentation process.

The image retrieving system is used to retrieve images from the image database. Two types of Image retrieval techniques are commonly used: content-based and text-based techniques. One of the well-known image retrieval techniques that extract the images in an unsupervised way, known as the cluster-based image retrieval technique. In this cluster-based image retrieval, all visual features of an image are combined to find a better retrieval rate and precisions. The objectives of the study were to develop a new model by combining the three traits i.e., color, shape, and texture of an image. The color-shape and colortexture models were compared to a threshold value with various precision levels. A union was formed of a newly developed model with a color-shape, and color-texture model to find the retrieval rate in terms of precisions of the image retrieval system. The results were experimented on on the COREL standard database and it was found that the union of three models gives better results than the image retrieval from the individual models. The newly developed model and the union of the given models also gives better results than the existing system named clusterbased retrieval of images by unsupervised learning (CLUE).
Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.

The document discusses image segmentation techniques. It begins by defining segmentation as partitioning an image into distinct regions that correlate with objects or features of interest. The goal of segmentation is to find meaningful groups of pixels. Several segmentation techniques are described, including region growing/shrinking, clustering methods, and boundary detection. Region growing uses homogeneity tests to merge neighboring regions, while clustering divides space based on similarity within groups. Boundary detection finds boundaries between objects. The document provides examples and details of applying these segmentation methods.

Invention of digital technology has lead to increase in the number of images that can be stored in digital format. So searching and retrieving images in large image databases has become more challenging. From the last few years, Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) gained increasing attention from researcher. CBIR is a system which uses visual features of image to search user required image from large image
database and user’s requests in the form of a query image. Important features of images are colour, texture and shape which give detailed information about the image. CBIR techniques using different feature extraction techniques are discussed in this paper.
The document discusses image segmentation techniques. It begins by defining segmentation as partitioning an image into distinct regions that correlate with objects or features of interest. The goal of segmentation is to find meaningful groups of pixels. Several segmentation techniques are described, including region growing/shrinking, clustering methods, and boundary detection. Region growing uses homogeneity tests to merge neighboring regions, while clustering divides space based on similarity within groups. Boundary detection finds boundaries between objects. The document provides examples and details of applying these segmentation methods.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes an algorithm for detecting brain tumors in MRI images based on analyzing bilateral symmetry. The algorithm first performs preprocessing like smoothing and contrast enhancement. It then identifies the bilateral symmetry axis of the brain. Next, it segments the image into symmetric regions, enhancing asymmetric edges that may indicate a tumor. Experiments showed the algorithm can automatically detect tumor positions and boundaries. The algorithm leverages the fact that brain MRI of a healthy person is nearly bilaterally symmetric, while a tumor disrupts this symmetry.

Content Based Image Retrieval Approach Based on Top-Hat Transform And Modifie...cscpconf
In this paper a robust approach is proposed for content based image retrieval (CBIR) using texture analysis techniques. The proposed approach includes three main steps. In the first one, shape detection is done based on Top-Hat transform to detect and crop object part of the image. Second step is included a texture feature representation algorithm using color local binary patterns (CLBP) and local variance features. Finally, to retrieve mostly closing matching images to the query, log likelihood ratio is used. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated using Corel and Simplicity image sets and it compared by some of other well-known approaches in terms of precision and recall which shows the superiority of the proposed approach. Low noise sensitivity, rotation invariant, shift invariant, gray scale invariant and low computational complexity are some of other advantages.

This document presents information on face detection techniques. It discusses image segmentation as a preprocessing step for face detection. Some common segmentation methods are thresholding, edge-based segmentation, and region-based segmentation. Face detection can be classified as implicit/pattern-based or explicit/knowledge-based. Implicit methods use techniques like templates, PCA, LDA, and neural networks, while explicit methods exploit cues like color, motion, and facial features. One method discussed is human skin color-based face detection, which filters for skin-colored regions and finds facial parts within those regions. Advantages include speed and independence from training data, while disadvantages include sensitivity to lighting and accessories.

This paper presents a binarization method for camera based natural scene (NS) images based on edge
analysis and morphological dilation. Image is converted to grey scale image and edge detection is carried
out using canny edge detection. The edge image is dilated using morphological dilation and analyzed to
remove edges corresponding to non-text regions. The image is binarized using mean and standard
deviation of edge pixels. Post processing of resulting images is done to fill gaps and to smooth text strokes.
The algorithm is tested on a variety of NS images captured using a digital camera under variable

compared with other standard techniques. The method is fast and works well for camera based natural
scene images.

A Survey of Image Segmentation based on Artificial Intelligence and Evolution...IOSR Journals
Abstract : In image analysis, segmentation is the partitioning of a digital image into multiple regions (sets of
pixels), according to some homogeneity criterion. The problem of segmentation is a well-studied one in
literature and there are a wide variety of approaches that are used. Different approaches are suited to different
types of images and the quality of output of a particular algorithm is difficult to measure quantitatively due to
the fact that there may be much correct segmentation for a single image. Image segmentation denotes a process
by which a raw input image is partitioned into nonoverlapping regions such that each region is homogeneous
and the union of any two adjacent regions is heterogeneous. A segmented image is considered to be the highest
domain-independent abstraction of an input image. Image segmentation is an important processing step in many
image, video and computer vision applications. Extensive research has been done in creating many different
approaches and algorithms for image segmentation, but it is still difficult to assess whether one algorithm
produces more accurate segmentations than another, whether it be for a particular image or set of images, or
more generally, for a whole class of images.

This document presents a proposed methodology for microarray image segmentation using clustering techniques. The methodology involves three main steps: preprocessing, gridding, and segmentation. Segmentation is performed using an enhanced fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm (EFCMC) that uses neighborhood pixel information and gray levels. EFCMC can accurately detect absent spots and is tolerant to noise. The methodology is tested on real microarray images and its segmentation quality is assessed using a quality index. Results show EFCMC improves the quality index compared to k-means clustering and fuzzy c-means clustering.

In this project, we proposed a Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system which is used to retrieve a
relevant image from an outsized database. Textile images showed the way for the development of CBIR. It
establishes the efficient combination of color, shape and texture features. Here the textile image is given as
dataset. The images in database are loaded. The resultant image is given as input to feature extraction
technique which is transformation of input image into a set of features such as color, texture and shape.
The texture feature of an image is taken out by using Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). The color
feature of an image is obtained by HSI color space. The shape feature of an image is extorted by sobel
technique. These algorithms are used to calculate the similarity between extracted features. These features
are combined effectively so that the retrieval accuracy and recall rate is enhanced. The classification
techniques such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used to classify the features of a query image by
splitting the group such as color, shape and texture. Finally, the relevant images are retrieved from a large
database and hence the efficiency of an image is plotted.The software used is MATLAB 7.10 (matrix
laboratory) which is built software applications

The uniform predicate P(Si) = true for all regions , Si and P(Si U Sj)=false when i<>j and Si and Si
are neighbors.
Color Image Segmentation mainly depends on two properties of the intensity values. The former
property is discontinuity where the images are partitioned on sharp changes in intensity. The
latter property is similarity in which the image is partitioned based upon a predefined similarity
criteria. Taking into account of these properties several image segmentation techniques have been
proposed. Choice of the techniques mainly depends on the problem consideration.
1.1 Color Image Segmentation Applications
Color Image segmentation partition the given input color image into homogenous regions. Image
segmentation is the first important step in image analysis. Image analysis includes wide
applications in video surveillance, image retrieval, medical imaging analysis and object
classification. Color image segmentation finds a place in many multimedia application such as
indexing and management of data and also in the dissemination of information in the network.
1.2 Color Image Segmentation Approaches
Color Image segmentation divides the image pixel based on image features. While using color
images , image pixels are represented by various number of color spaces such as RGB, XYZ or
LUV. Color image segmentation attracted researchers , due to providing more information on
color images available in a larges repository in web and also the speed of processing color
images through PCs. Color Image Segmentation techniques can be classified as edge based
segmentation, thresholding based segmentation, region based segmentation, clustering based
segmentation and graph based segmentation.
Edge based segmentation specify segmentation based on the edges of the image. Thresholding is
very simple which is used to separate objects from the background. The different types of
thresholding algorithms are adaptive thresholding and otsu thresholding. Region based
segmentation is the one in which regions of similar pixels are grouped together. Two efficient
algorithms are seeded region growing and region split and merge methods.
A good segmenter should produce homogenous and uniform regions based on color or texture.
The boundaries of each segment should be spatially accurate , smooth but not ragged. Adjacent
regions should be different based on region characteristics.
In this paper, we consider the problem of color image segmentation of dominant region based on
color for natural images. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, related
work carried on color image segmentation are discussed. In Section 3, the proposed algorithm for
automatic dominant region segmentation algorithm are presented. In Section 4, provides the
experimental results and discussion. Conclusion are given in Section 6.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW

from filtering methods to statistical methods. Color Image segmentation done using latest
technique such as neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and wavelet decomposition are
also presented. Gajendra Singh Chandel[14], analyzed various segmentation algorithms such as
3. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 275
edge-based segmentation, thresholding based segmentation and Region Based Segmentation
Algorithms. Polak[8]. specify an evaluation metric for image segmentation of multiple objects.
Nilima Kulkarni[13] presented color thresholding method for image segmentation of natural
images. Muthukrishnan presented edge detection techniques for image segmentation. Felci
Rajam[11] proposed SRBIR system which retrieves images based on semantic content by
extracting the dominant foreground region in the image and learning the semantic concept with
the help of SVM-BDT.
3. PROPOSED ALGORITHM OVERVIEW
Color Image Segmentation is used to identify region of interest and objects in the scene which are
beneficial to image annotation or image analysis. For identifying the dominant region for natural
images, natural color images of different object classes are taken as the input image. In any type
of image the dominant region occupies most of the image foreground. So, segmentation of
dominant region can easily identify the object.
Firstly, the input RGB color image is indexed and then converted into a gray scale image .
Secondly, various image preprocessing techniques such as median filtering, range filtering are
carried out to eliminate noise. The quality of the input image is enhanced by applying image
sharpening technique. Thirdly, edges are detected from the preprocessed image by applying
canny edge detection technique. Fourthly, by applying gray threshold method , a foreground
object is separated from the background. Fifthly, dominant region identification are done to
identify dominant region and finally segmented color image with dominant object highlights are
produced.
Proposed Algorithm for extracting dominant region from a given input RGB image is as below
Step 1 : Input RGB image
Step 2 : Generate an Indexed Image of an input image
Step 3 : Convert RGB input image into a gray scale image
Step 4 : Apply Preprocessing technique
Step 5 : Detect edges of the object
Step 6 : Separate foreground object from background object
Step 7 : Identify and draw object boundaries
Step 8 : Display the segmented foreground object
Proposed automatic dominant region image segmentation for natural images is depicted in the
flowchart and is given in figure 1.
4. 276 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
Fig . 1: Flowchart of the Proposed Algorithm
A given input RGB color image is converted into a gray scale image. The formula for converting
RGB pixel to a gray pixel mapping the intensity value from 0 to 255 is
given by equation 2.
Intensity = 0.29289 * red + 0.5870 * green + 0.1140 * blue (2)
Image preprocessing is carried out to reduce image and improve image quality. The most popular
median filtering is used for noise removal and preserve edges using 3*3 neighborhood. Median
filtered of an gray image is returned as output image for further image preprocessing steps. The
function for performing median filtering is medfilt2() which is given by
B = medfilt2(A) (3)
Various other preprocessing techniques are applied such as sharpening and range filtering on the
median filtered image. Edges are detected for the preprocessed image .A large number of edge
detecting technique are available in which canny edge detection is ideal since it returns the
threshold value on which the regions are segmented. The function for performing canny edge
detection is as below :

where I is the input gray scale image and F is the edge detected final image. Once the edges are
detected, objects are identified by tracing the boundary. Final segmented objects are identified
which is a black and white image. Color segmented image is obtained from the indexed image .

deals with a lot of limitations such as shades due to the illumination, over segmentation. Visually,
there is no clear boundary and is often over-segmented into several regions. Our proposed
algorithm avoids the problem of over segmentation and a clear boundary is obtained for a

5. CONCLUSIONS
Color and texture are critical factors in human visual perception. Many segmentation approaches
use both the factors to obtain homogenous regions for image segmentation. In this paper, a new
approach for segmenting dominant region for natural images are proposed. Earlier algorithms
such as Normalized Cut, JSEG, ICMAP algorithms all deal with a lot of computation and takes
longer time to segment the image. Our Proposed algorithm is simple to implement and are able to
get the desired segmented results for simple natural images concentrating on the dominant region.
Our future work aims at classifying foreground region based on texture also. Regions can be
separated and features can also be extracted for segmented regions. Further Image analysis can be
done to come up with an efficient Image Retrieval System.
