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.

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
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.

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. Object segmentation is difficult because one usually does not know a priori what type of object exists in an image, how many different shapes are there and what regions the image has. To carryout discrimination and segmentation several innovative segmentation methods, based on morphology are proposed. The present study proposes segmentation method based on multiscale morphological reconstructions. Various sizes of structuring elements have been used to segment simple and complex shapes. It enhances local boundaries that may lead to improve segmentation accuracy.The method is tested on various datasets and results shows that it can be used for both interactive and automatic segmentation.
ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SELF ORGANIZING FEATURE MAP FOR IMAGE FUSIONijistjournal
A different image fusion algorithm based on self organizing feature map is proposed in this paper, aiming to produce quality images. Image Fusion is to integrate complementary and redundant information from multiple images of the same scene to create a single composite image that contains all the important features of the original images. The resulting fused image will thus be more suitable for human and machine perception or for further image processing tasks. The existing fusion techniques based on either direct operation on pixels or segments fail to produce fused images of the required quality and are mostly application based. The existing segmentation algorithms become complicated and time consuming when multiple images are to be fused. A new method of segmenting and fusion of gray scale images adopting Self organizing Feature Maps(SOM) is proposed in this paper. The Self Organizing Feature Maps is adopted to produce multiple slices of the source and reference images based on various combination of gray scale and can dynamically fused depending on the application. The proposed technique is adopted and analyzed for fusion of multiple images. The technique is robust in the sense that there will be no loss in information due to the property of Self Organizing Feature Maps; noise removal in the source images done during processing stage and fusion of multiple images is dynamically done to get the desired results. Experimental results demonstrate that, for the quality multifocus image fusion, the proposed method performs better than some popular image fusion methods in both subjective and objective qualities.

REGION CLASSIFICATION BASED IMAGE DENOISING USING SHEARLET AND WAVELET TRANSF...csandit
This paper proposes a neural network based region classification technique that classifies
regions in an image into two classes: textures and homogenous regions. The classification is
based on training a neural network with statistical parameters belonging to the regions of
interest. An application of this classification method is applied in image denoising by applying
different transforms to the two different classes. Texture is denoised by shearlets while
homogenous regions are denoised by wavelets. The denoised results show better performance
than either of the transforms applied independently. The proposed algorithm successfully
reduces the mean square error of the denoised result and provides perceptually good results.
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

Multitude Regional Texture Extraction for Efficient Medical Image Segmentationinventionjournals
Image processing plays a major role in evaluation of images in many concerns. Manual interpretation of the image is time consuming process and it is susceptible to human errors. Computer assisted approaches for analyzing the images have increased in latest evolution of image processing. Also it has highlighted its performance more in the field of medical sciences. Many techniques are available for the involvement in processing of images, evaluation, extraction etc. The main goal of image segmentation is cluster pixeling the regions corresponding to individual surfaces, objects, or natural parts of objects and to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. The proposed method is to conquer segmentation and texture extraction with Regional and Multitude and techniques involved in it. Ultrasound (US) is increasingly considered as a viable alternative imaging modality in computer-assisted brain segmentation and disease diagnosis applications.First for ultra sound we present region based segmentation.Homogeneous regions depends on image granularity features. Second a local threshold based multitude texture regional seed segmentation for medical image segmentation is proposed. Here extraction is done with dimensions comparable to the speckle size are to be extracted. The algorithm provides a less medical metrics awareness in a minimum user interaction environment. The shape and size of the growing regions depend on look up table entries.

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).
Graph Theory Based Approach For Image Segmentation Using Wavelet TransformCSCJournals
This paper presents the image segmentation approach based on graph theory and threshold. Amongst the various segmentation approaches, the graph theoretic approaches in image segmentation make the formulation of the problem more flexible and the computation more resourceful. The problem is modeled in terms of partitioning a graph into several sub-graphs; such that each of them represents a meaningful region in the image. The segmentation problem is then solved in a spatially discrete space by the well-organized tools from graph theory. After the literature review, the problem is formulated regarding graph representation of image and threshold function. The boundaries between the regions are determined as per the segmentation criteria and the segmented regions are labeled with random colors. In presented approach, the image is preprocessed by discrete wavelet transform and coherence filter before graph segmentation. The experiments are carried out on a number of natural images taken from Berkeley Image Database as well as synthetic images from online resources. The experiments are performed by using the wavelets of Haar, DB2, DB4, DB6 and DB8. The results are evaluated and compared by using the performance evaluation parameters like execution time, Performance Ratio, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Precision and Recall and obtained results are encouraging.

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.

Abstract
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.

I. INTRODUCTION
Image segmentation is the process of partitioning
a digital image into multiple segments. The goal of
segmentation is to simplify and/or change the
representation of an image to analyze more easier and
something that is meaningful. Image segmentation is
typically used to locate the lines and curves in
boundaries and also to locate objects in images. Then
image segmentation may also be defined in such a
way that the process of assigning a label to every
pixel in an image such that pixels with the same
label share certain characteristics.
The result of image segmentation is a set of
segments where the entire image is covered
collectively, or a set of contours where the image is
extracted which can be seen in edge detection. Some
characteristic or computed property of pixels, such as
color, intensity, or texture are similar with respect to
each region, whereas the pixels which have same
characteristics differs from the adjacent
regions. When applied to medical imaging, the
resulting contours after image segmentation can be
used to create 3D reconstructions with the help of
interpolation algorithms like Marching cubes.
Several general purpose algorithms and
techniques have been developed for image
segmentation. These algorithms and techniques must
be typically combined with a domain's specific
knowledge in order to effectively solve the domain's
segmentation problems.
1.1 Clustering methods
The K-means algorithm is an iterative technique
that is used to partition an image into K-clusters.The
basic slgorithm is
1. Pick K cluster centers, either randomly or based
on some heuristic.
2. Assign each pixel in the image to the cluster that
maximizes the distance between the pixel and the
cluster center.
3. Re-compute the cluster centers by averaging all
of the pixels in the cluster.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until convergence is
attained (i.e. no pixels change clusters).
In this case, absolute difference between a pixel
and a cluster center or the distance is squared.
This absolute difference is typically based on
pixel color, intensity, texture, and location, or a
weighted combination of these factors. Manually,
randomly, or by a heuristically this K can be selected.
This algorithm is guaranteed to converge, but it may
not return the optimal solution so it is found that the
quality of the solution depends on the initial set of
clusters and the value of K.
1.2 Histogram-based methods
Histogram-based methods are very efficient
compared to other image segmentation methods
because they typically require only one pass through
the pixels.The peaks and valleys in the histogram are
used to locate the clusters in the image, where as the
histogram is also computed in the image by
considering all the pixels. To measure
color or intensity also this histogram is used. The

histogram-seeking method is also used to cluster the
image in order to divide them into smaller clusters.
No more clusters are formed, because by repeating
this operation until the smaller clusters being taken.
1.3 Edge detection
Edge detection is a well-developed field on
its own within image processing.Since there is often a
sharp adjustment in intensity at the region
boundaries, where the edges and the boundaries in
the region are closely related. Therefore, the edge
detection techniques have been used as the base of
another segmentation technique. In this edge
detection, the edges being identified are often
disconnected. The closed region boundaries are
needed in order to segment an object from an image.
The boundaries between such objects or spatial-
taxons have desired edges.
Spatial-taxons are information granules
consisting of a crisp pixel region, where these pixel
regions are stationed at abstraction levels within a
hierarchical nested scene architecture.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
This paper addresses the problem of segmenting
an image into regions. The boundary between two
regions using a graph-based representation of the
image is predicated for measuring the evidence.Based
on this predicate an efficient segmentation algorithm
is developed, and shows that this algorithm makes
greedy decisions where it produces segmentations
that satisfy global properties. An algorithm to image
segmentation is applied using two different kinds of
local neighbourhoods to illustrate the results with
both real and synthetic images and also to construct
the graph.The algorithm nearly runs faster in practice
ans also in time linear in the number of graph edges.
The characteristic of the method is more important
because its ability is to preserve detail in low-
variability image regions while ignoring detail in
high-variability regions.
A wide range of computational vision problems
could in principle make good use of segmented
images, where it is computable with its reliability and
in efficient using such segmentations. Consider an
instance that the intermediate-level vision problems
such as stereo and motion estimation require an
appropriate region of support for correspondence
operations. The non-uniform regions of support can
be identified spatially 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 ground
separation and recognition by parts.
The 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. A novel approach for solving the
perceptual grouping problem in vision is mainly
focusing on local features and their consistencies in
the image data, where our approach aims at
extracting the global impression of an image. In
image segmentation mainly a graph partitioning
problem arises so to segment the graph and also to
recover that a novel global criterion, the normalized
cut is being proposed. The normalized cut which is
proposed above, measures both the total dissimilarity
between the different groups as well as the total
similarity within the groups. We show that an
efficient computational technique based on a
generalized eigenvalue problem can be used to
optimize this criterion.

The proposed image segmentation is based on
superpixels which are small coherent regions
preserving almost all boundaries between different
regions. This is an advantage since superpixels
significantly reduce computational cost and allow
feature extraction to be conducted from a larger
coherent region. Both the pairwise and higher-order
correlation clustering merges superpixels into disjoint
coherent regions over a superpixel graph. Therefore,
the proposed correlation clustering is not a
replacement to existing superpixel algorithms, and
performances might be influenced by baseline
superpixels.
The group of pixels which have similar
characteristics. The surface layout recovering helps
computers understand the intricate information in an
image by assigning local segments to different
geometric classes. It is widely used in various
computer vision applications and also it greatly
reduces the complexity of the following-up image
processing.
The regions are selected beforehand and then an
energy function is defined over them. The regions
which is used in two step process suffers from the
following deficiencies: (i) the regions may not match
the boundaries of the scene entities, thereby
introducing errors; and (ii) It may not be suitable for

Most methods for object class segmentation are
formulated as a labelling problem over a single
choice of quantization of an image space pixels, or
group of segments. Each quantisation has its fair
share of pros and cons which is well known already;
and the existence of a common optimal quantisation
level suitable for all object categories is highly
unlikely. Motivated by this observation, that they
allows integration of features computed at different
levels of the quantization hierarchy to propose a
hierarchical random field model. MAP inference in
this model can be performed efficiently using
powerful graph cut based move making algorithms.
The flexibility and generality of our framework
allowed us to propose and use novel pixel and
segment based potential functions and achieve state-
of-the-art results on some of the most challenging
data sets for object class segmentation. It is believed
that the use of the hierarchical CRF will yield similar
improvements for other labelling problems.

High-level, or holistic, scene understanding
involves reasoning about the 3D relationships
between the objects and the regions. This requires a
representation above the level of pixels that can be
endowed with high-level attributes such as class of
object/region, its orientation, and location within the
scene. Towards this goal, it propose a region-based
model which combines appearance and scene
geometry to automatically decompose a scene into
semantically meaningful regions. It is defined in
terms of a unified energy function over scene
appearance and structure. An effective inference
technique is proposed for optimizing this energy
function and it is showed that how it could be learned
from data. This results compete with the geometric
reasoning techniques and state-of-the-art multi-class
image segmentation.
This shows that hypergraphs provide a more
relevant representation of images than the ones based
on pairwise relationships, i.e. graph-based
representations, with comparison to the various
algorithm. They have also showed that a combination
of spectral decomposition methods and the multilevel
paradigm outperforms the pure heuristic multilevel
hypergraph partitioning algorithm. The representation
is unrelevant for highly textured images as
demonstrated. This establish the efficiency of the
filtering algorithm in practical by two ways.
First,,it shows that the algorithm runs faster as
the separation between clusters increases where it
presents a data-sensitive analysis of the algorithm's
running time. Second, present a number of empirical
studies on both the real data sets from applications in
color quantization, data compression, and image
segmentation and on synthetically generated data.
The algorithm is easy to implement and only requires
that a kd-tree be built once for the given data points.
Efficiency is achieved because the data points do not
vary throughout the computation process and this
data structure does not need to be recomputed at each
stage.
3.3 Pairwise feature vector
In order to consider the problem of estimating
the depth of each pixel in a scene from a single
monocular image. First perform a semantic
segmentation of the scene and use the semantic labels
to guide the 3D reconstruction in traditional approach
which attempts to map from appearance features to
depth directly. This traditional approach provides
several advantages by knowing the semantic class of
a region or pixel, where the depth and geometry
constraints can be easily enforced . In addition, depth
can be more readily predicted by measuring the
difference in appearance with respect to a given
semantic class.

Define a predicate for measuring the evidence
for a boundary between two regions using a graph-
based representation of the image and in this
predicate it develops an efficient segmentation
algorithm, and show that although this algorithm
makes greedy decisions it produces segmentations
that satisfy global properties. The algorithm which is
applied to image segmentation, illustrates the results
with both real and synthetic images using two
different kinds of local neighborhoods in constructing
the graph.
An important characteristic of the method is its
ability to preserve detail in low-variability image
regions while ignoring detail in high-variability
regions. The pairwise region comparison predicate
considers the minimum weight edge between two
regions in measuring the difference between them.
Thus our algorithm will merge two regions even if
there is a single low weight edge between them. This
is not as much of a problem as it might first appear,
in part because the minimum spanning tree edges of
each component is compared with its edge weight.

3.4 Comparison with Related Eigenvector-Based
Methods
The normalized cut formulation has a certain
resemblance to the standard spectral graph
partitioning, as well as average association
formulation and average cut. All three of these
algorithms can be reduced to solving certain eigen
value systems. This fig summarizes the relationship
between these three algorithms. On the one hand, the
normalized association and the average association
are trying to find tight clusters in the graph, on the
another hand, both the normalized cut and the
average cut algorithm are trying to find a balanced
partition of a weighted graph.
Fig.3.1 A case where minimum cut gives a
bad partition
Since the normalized association is exactly n
cut, the normalized cut value, the normalized cut
formulation seeks a balance between the goal of
clustering and segmentation. The normalized cut
vector can be approximated with the generalized
eigenvector where it not seen surprisingly. It can be
seen that the average association, has a bias for
finding tight clusters by judging these three grouping
criteria from the discrete formulations.

Therefore, it runs the risk of becoming too
greedy in finding small, but tight, clusters in the data.
This might be perfect for data that are Gaussian
distributed. However, this bias in grouping will have
undesired consequences for typical data in the real
world that are more likely to be made up of a mixture
of various different types of distributions. One cannot
ensure the two partitions computed will have tight
within-group similarity. This becomes particularly
problematic if there are several possible partitions all
with similar average cut values or there is an
dissimilarity among the different groups varies from
one to another.
Each data point is taken as a node in the graph
and the weighted graph edge connecting two points is
defined to be inversely proportional to the distance
between two nodes.
3.5 Pairwise correlation clustering over the
superpixel graph
Define a pairwise undirected graph where a node
corresponds to a superpixel and a link between
adjacent superpixels corresponds to an edge. Note
that the discriminant function is assumed to be linear
in both the parameter vector and the joint feature
map is a pairwise feature vector which reflects the
correspondence between the superpixels.
An image segmentation is to infer the edge
labelover the pairwise superpixel that corresponds to
a valid segmentation, the so called multicut polytope.
