Image Segmentation Using Pairwise Correlation ClusteringIJERA Editor
A pairwise hypergraph based image segmentation framework is formulated in a supervised manner for various images. The image segmentation is to infer the edge label over the pairwise hypergraph by maximizing the normalized cuts. Correlation clustering which is a graph partitioning algorithm, was shown to be effective in a number of applications such as identification, clustering of documents and image segmentation.The partitioning result is derived from a algorithm to partition a pairwise graph into disjoint groups of coherent nodes. In the pairwise correlation clustering, the pairwise graph which is used in the correlation clustering is generalized to a superpixel graph where a node corresponds to a superpixel and a link between adjacent superpixels corresponds to an edge. This pairwise correlation clustering also considers the feature vector which extracts several visual cues from a superpixel, including brightness, color, texture, and shape. Significant progress in clustering has been achieved by algorithms that are based on pairwise affinities between the datasets. The experimental results are shown by calculating the typical cut and inference in an undirected graphical model and datasets.
Image Enhancement and Restoration by Image InpaintingIJERA Editor
Inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated part of images based on the background information. i. e .it fills the missing or damaged region in an image utilizing spatial information of its neighboring region. Inpainting algorithm have numerous applications. It is helpfully used for restoration of old films and object removal in digital photographs. The main goal of the algorithm is to modify the damaged region in an image in such a way that the inpainted region is undetectable to the ordinary observers who are not familiar with the original image. This proposed work presents image inpainting process for image enhancement and restoration by using structural, texture and exemplar techniques. This paper presents efficient algorithm that combines the advantages of these two approaches. We first note that exemplar-based texture synthesis contains the essential process required to replicate both texture and structure; the success of structure propagation, however, is highly dependent on the order in which the filling proceeds. We propose a best-first algorithm in which the confidence in the synthesized pixel values is propagated in a manner similar to the propagation of information in inpainting. The actual color values are computed using exemplar-based synthesis. Computational efficiency is achieved by a blockbased sampling process.

Object recognition is the challenging problem in the real world application. Object recognition can be achieved through the shape matching. Shape matching is preceded by i) detecting the edges of the objects from the images. ii) Finding the correspondence between the shapes. iii) Measuring the dissimilarity between the shapes using the correspondence. iv) Classifying the object into classes by using this dissimilarity measures. In order to solve the correspondence problem, we attach a descriptor, the shape context, to each point. The shape context at a reference point captures the distribution of the remaining points relative to it, thus offering a globally discriminative characterization. Corresponding points on two similar shapes will have similar shape contexts. The one to one correspondence is achieved through the cost based bipartite graph matching. The cost matrix is reduced through Hungarian algorithm. The dissimilarity between the two shapes is computed using Canberra distance. The nearest neighbor classifier is used to classify the objects with the matching error. The results are obtained using the MATLAB for MINIST hand written digits.

Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms and Estimation of Optimal Segmentation ...Pinaki Ranjan Sarkar
Recent advancement in sensor technology allows very high spatial resolution along with multiple spectral bands. There are many studies, which highlight that Object Based Image Analysis(OBIA) is more accurate than pixel-based classification for high resolution(< 2m) imagery. Image segmentation is a crucial step for OBIA and it is a very formidable task to estimate optimal parameters for segmentation as it does not have any unique solution. In this paper, we have studied different segmentation algorithms (both mono-scale and multi-scale) for different terrain categories and showed how the segmented output depends on upon various parameters. Later, we have introduced a novel method to estimate optimal segmentation parameters. The main objectives of this study are to highlight the effectiveness of presently available segmentation techniques on very high-resolution satellite data and to automate segmentation process. Pre-estimation of segmentation parameter is more practical and efficient in OBIA. Assessment of segmentation algorithms and estimation of segmentation parameters are examined based on the very high-resolution multi-spectral WorldView-3(0.3m, PAN sharpened) data.
Development of stereo matching algorithm based on sum of absolute RGB color d...IJECEIAES
This article presents local-based stereo matching algorithm which comprises a devel- opment of an algorithm using block matching and two edge preserving filters in the framework. Fundamentally, the matching process consists of several stages which will produce the disparity or depth map. The problem and most challenging work for matching process is to get an accurate corresponding point between two images. Hence, this article proposes an algorithm for stereo matching using improved Sum of Absolute RGB Differences (SAD), gradient matching and edge preserving filters. It is Bilateral Filter (BF) to surge up the accuracy. The SAD and gradient matching will be implemented at the first stage to get the preliminary corresponding result, then the BF works as an edge-preserving filter to remove the noise from the first stage. The second BF is used at the last stage to improve final disparity map and increase the object boundaries. The experimental analysis and validation are using the Middlebury standard benchmarking evaluation system. Based on the results, the proposed work is capable to increase the accuracy and to preserve the object edges. To make the proposed work more reliable with current available methods, the quantitative measurement has been made to compare with other existing methods and it shows the proposed work in this article perform much better.
Our life’s important part is Image. Without disturbing its overall structure of images, we can
remove the unwanted part of image with the help of image inpainting. There is simpler the inpainting of
the low resolution images than that of the high resolution images. In this system low resolution image
contained in different super resolution image inpainting methodologies and there are combined all these
methodologies to form the highly in painted image results. For this reason our system uses the super
resolution algorithm which is responsiblefor inpainting of singleimage.
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement
technique basically enhances the foreground information and retains the background and improve the
overall contrast of an image. In some case the background of an image hides the structural information of
an image. This paper proposes an algorithm which enhances the foreground image and the background
part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then
combines it to an enhanced image. The results are compared with various classical methods using image

A novel predicate for active region merging in automatic image segmentationeSAT Journals
Abstract Image segmentation is an elementary task in computer vision and image processing. This paper deals with the automatic image segmentation in a region merging method. Two essential problems in a region merging algorithm: order of merging and the stopping criterion. These two problems are solved by a novel predicate which is described by the sequential probability ratio test and the minimal cost criterion. In this paper we propose an Active Region merging algorithm which utilizes the information acquired from perceiving edges in color images in L*a*b* color space. By means of color gradient recognition method, pixels with no edges are clustered and considered alone to recognize some preliminary portion of the input image. The color information along with a region growth map consisting of completely grown regions are used to perform an Active region merging method to combine regions with similar characteristics. Experiments on real natural images are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed Active region merging method. Index Terms: Adaptive threshold generation, CIE L*a*b* color gradient, region merging, Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT).

Validation Study of Dimensionality Reduction Impact on Breast Cancer Classifi...ijcsit
A fundamental problem in machine learning is identifying the most representative subset of features from
which we can construct a predictive model for a classification task. This paper aims to present a validation
study of dimensionality reduction effect on the classification accuracy of mammographic images. The
studied dimensionality reduction methods were: locality-preserving projection (LPP), locally linear
embedding (LLE), Isometric Mapping (ISOMAP) and spectral regression (SR). We have achieved high
rates of classifications. In some combinations the classification rate was 100%. But in most of the cases the
classification rate is about 95%. It was also found that the classification rate increases with the size of the
reduced space and the optimal value of space dimension is 60. We proceeded to validate the obtained
results by measuring some validation indices such as: Xie-Beni index, Dun index and Alternative Dun
index. The measurement of these indices confirms that the optimal value of reduced space dimension is
d=60.

Semi-Supervised Method of Multiple Object Segmentation with a Region Labeling...sipij
Efficient and efficient multiple object segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. In this work; we address a method to effectively discover a user’s concept when multiple objects of interest are involved in content based image retrieval. The proposed method incorporate a framework for multiple object retrieval using semi-supervised method of similar region merging and flood fill which models the spatial and appearance relations among image pixels. To improve the effectiveness of similarity based region merging we propose a new similarity based object retrieval. The users only need to roughly indicate the after which steps desired objects contour is obtained during the automatic merging of similar regions. A novel similarity based region merging mechanism is proposed to guide the merging process with the help of mean shift technique and objects detection using region labeling and flood fill. A region R is merged with its adjacent regions Q if Q has highest similarity with Q (using Bhattacharyya descriptor) among all Q’s adjacent regions. The proposed method automatically merges the regions that are initially segmented through mean shift technique, and then effectively extracts the object contour by merging all similar regions. Extensive experiments are performed on 12 object classes (224 images total) show promising results.
A Survey on Image Segmentation and its Applications in Image Processing IJEEE
As technology grows day by day computer vision becomes a vital field of understanding the behavior of an image. Image segmentation is a sub field of computer vision that deals with the partition of objects into number of segments. Image segmentation found a huge application in pattern reorganization, texture analysis as well as in medial image processing. This paper focus on distinct sort of image segmentation techniques that are utilized in computer vision. Thus a survey has been created for various image segmentation techniques that describe the importance of the same. Comparison and conclusion has been created within the finish of this paper.
COLOUR BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING HYBRID KMEANS WITH WATERSHED SEGMENTATIONIAEME Publication
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
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.

A NOVEL PROBABILISTIC BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION MODEL FOR REALTIME HUMAN ACTIV...sipij
Automatic human activity detection is one of the difficult tasks in image segmentation application due to
variations in size, type, shape and location of objects. In the traditional probabilistic graphical
segmentation models, intra and inter region segments may affect the overall segmentation accuracy. Also,
both directed and undirected graphical models such as Markov model, conditional random field have
limitations towards the human activity prediction and heterogeneous relationships. In this paper, we have
studied and proposed a natural solution for automatic human activity segmentation using the enhanced
probabilistic chain graphical model. This system has three main phases, namely activity pre-processing,
iterative threshold based image enhancement and chain graph segmentation algorithm. Experimental
results show that proposed system efficiently detects the human activities at different levels of the action
datasets.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation.

I. INTRODUCTION
This new approach benefits from well-established mathematical theories that allow people to analyze,
understand and extend segmentation methods. Moreover, this framework is defined in a continuous setting
which makes the proposed models independent with respect to the grid of digital images. In color image
segmentation seed selection, region growing and region merging are important stages. It should be noted that
there is no single standard approach to perform seed selection, region growing, and region merging for color
image segmentation. The appropriate technique is select on the basis of type of image and applications. Ugarriza
et al. proposed a technique of initial seed selection. This technique uses vector field for edge detection and
RGB to L*a*b conversion of image pixels to calculate the threshold by using adaptive threshold generation
method. This method uses approximate calculation of threshold. The problem is that approximate calculation
does not lead proper conclusion.
II. IMAGE SEGMENTATION
The problems of image segmentation and grouping remain great challenges for computer vision. Since
the time of the Gestalt movement in psychology, it has been known that perceptual grouping plays a powerful
role in human visual perception. A wide range of computational vision problems could in principle make good
use of segmented images, were such segmentations reliably and efficiently computable. For instance
intermediate-level vision problems such as stereo and motion estimation require an appropriate region of
support for correspondence operations. Spatially non-uniform regions of support can be identified using
segmentation techniques. Higher-level problems such as recognition and image indexing can also make use of
segmentation results in matching, to address problems such as figure-ground separation and recognition by
parts. Our goal is to develop computational approaches to image segmentation that are broadly useful, much in
the way that other low-level techniques such as edge detection are used in a wide range of computer vision
tasks.

Region split and merging
In the analysis of the objects in images it is essential that we can distinguish between the objects of
interest and "the rest." This latter group is also referred to as the background. The techniques that are used to
find the objects of interest are usually referred to as segmentation techniques , segmenting the foreground from
background. In this section we will present two of the most common techniques thresholding and edgefinding
and techniques for improving the quality of the segmentation result. It is important to understand that: there is
ABSTRACT
An important branch of computer vision is image segmentation. Image segmentation aims at extracting
meaningful objects lying in images either by dividing images into contiguous semantic regions, or by
extracting one or more specific objects in images such as medical structures. The image segmentation
task is in general very difficult to achieve since natural images are diverse, complex and the way we
perceive them vary according to individuals. For more than a decade, a promising mathematical
framework, based on variational models and partial differential equations, have been investigated to
solve the image segmentation problem. The proposed scheme is simple yet powerful and it is image
content adaptive. With the similarity based merging rule, a two stage iterative merging algorithm was
presented to gradually label each non-marker region as either object or background. We implemented
the MSRM algorithm in the MATLAB.

no universally applicable segmentation technique that will work for all images, and no segmentation technique
is perfect.
III. GEOMETRIC FLOW METHOD
The block diagram of geometric flow method as shown below
Geometric flows, as a class of important geometric partial differential equations, have been highlighted
in many areas, with Computer Aided Geometric Design is probably the field that benefited most from geometric
flow methods. The frequently used geometric flows include mean curvature flow (MCF), weighted MCF,
surface diffusion flow and Willmore flow etc. Different flows exhibit different geometric properties that could
meet the requirement of various applications. The biharmonic equation, which is linear, has been used for
interactive surface design. MCF and its variants, which are second order equations and also the most important
and effective flows, have been intensively used for fairing and denoising surface meshes. MCF cannot achieve
the G1 continuity at the boundary, thus for applications demanding high level of smoothness, higher order
equations have to be used, e.g. the surface diffusion flow for surface fairing, and the Willmore flow for surface
restoration, The construction of geometric flows is not a trivial task. In early days many geometric flows were
manually manufactured by combining several geometric entities and differential operators, thus were lack of
physical or geometric meaning. This drawback can be overcome by the construction of gradient descent flow.
Gradient descent flow method can transform an optimization problem into an initial value (initial-boundary
value) problem of an ordinary differential equation and thus is widely used in variational calculus. Constructing
gradient descent flow needs to address two main issues, the definition of gradient and suitable choice of inner
products. For a generic nonlinear energy functional, the gradient can be defined by Gˆ ateaux derivative. For the
same energy functional, different inner products will generate different geometric flows, some of which have
been mentioned above.
IV. MARKER BASED SEGMENTATION
Efficient and effective 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. This paper presents a new region merging based
interactive image segmentation method. The users only need to roughly indicate the location and region of the
object and background by using strokes, which are called markers. A novel maximal-similarity based region
merging mechanism is proposed to guide the merging process with the help of markers. A region R is merged
with its adjacent region Q if Q has the highest similarity with Q among all Q's adjacent regions. The proposed
method automatically merges the regions that are initially segmented by mean shift segmentation, and then
effectively extracts the object contour by labeling all the non-marker regions as either background or object. The
region merging process is adaptive to the image content and it does not need to set the similarity threshold in
advance.
Extensive experiments are performed and the results show that the proposed scheme can reliably
extract the object contour from the complex background. In marker based segmentation, an initial segmentation
is required to partition the image into homogeneous regions for merging. Any existing low level segmentation
methods, such as super-pixel [13], meanshift [14,15], watershed [16] and level set [17], can be used for this step.
In this paper, we choose to use the mean shift method for initial segmentation because it has less over
segmentation and can well preserve the object boundaries. Particularly, we use the mean shift segmentation
software—the EDISON System [18]—to obtain the initial segmentation map.

For detailed information about mean shift and the EDISON system, please refer to [19]. In this
method, we only focus on the region merging. Several general-purpose algorithms and techniques have been
developed for image segmentation. Since there is no general solution to the image segmentation problem, these
techniques often have to be combined with domain knowledge in order to effectively solve an image
segmentation problem for a problem domain.
V. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The execution time of the MSRM depends on a couple of factors, including the size of the image, the
initial segmentation result, the user input markers and the content of the image. We implement the MSRM
algorithm in the MATLAB 7.0 programming environment and run it on a PC with P4 2.6GHz CPU and
1024MB RAM.

VI. CONCLUSION
This paper proposed a novel marker based interactive image segmentation method. The image is
initially segmented by mean shift segmentation and the users only need to roughly indicate the main features of
the object and background by using some strokes, which are called markers. Since the object regions will have
high similarity to the marked object regions and so do the background regions, a novel maximal similarity based
region merging mechanism was proposed to extract the object. The proposed scheme is simple yet powerful and
it is image content adaptive. With the similarity based merging rule, a two stage iterative merging algorithm was
presented to gradually label each non-marker region as either object or background.
