It discusses how image segmentation partitions an image into meaningful regions based on measurements like greyscale, color, texture, depth, or motion. Segmentation is often an initial step in image understanding and has applications in identifying objects, guiding robots, and video compression. The document describes thresholding and clustering as two common segmentation techniques and provides examples of segmentation based on greyscale, texture, motion, depth, and optical flow.

Brain tumor detection using convolutional neural network
Performance analysis of automated brain tumor detection from MR imaging and CT scan using basic image processing techniques based on various hard and soft computing has been performed in our work. Moreover, we applied six traditional classifiers to detect brain tumor in the images. Then we applied CNN for brain tumor detection to include deep learning method in our work. We compared the result of the traditional one having the best accuracy (SVM) with the result of CNN. Furthermore, our work presents a generic method of tumor detection and extraction of its various features.
Feature Extraction
The document describes two feature extraction methods: attention based and statistics based. The attention based method models how human vision finds salient regions using an architecture that decomposes images into channels and creates image pyramids, then combines the information to generate saliency maps. This method was applied to face recognition but had problems with pose and expression changes. The statistics based method aims to select a subset of important features using criteria based on how well the features represent the original data.
Noise Models
The document discusses noise models and methods for removing additive noise from digital images. It describes several types of noise that can affect images, such as Gaussian, impulse, uniform, Rayleigh, gamma and exponential noise. It also presents various noise filters that can be used to remove noise, including mean filters like arithmetic, geometric and harmonic filters, and order statistics filters such as median, max, min and midpoint filters. The filters aim to reduce noise while retaining image detail as much as possible.
Chapter 9 morphological image processing
This document provides an overview of mathematical morphology and its applications to image processing. Some key points:
- Mathematical morphology uses concepts from set theory and uses structuring elements to probe and extract image properties. It provides tools for tasks like noise removal, thinning, and shape analysis.
- Basic operations include erosion, dilation, opening, and closing. Erosion shrinks objects while dilation expands them. Opening and closing combine these to smooth contours or fill gaps.
- Hit-or-miss transforms allow detecting specific shapes. Skeletonization reduces objects to 1-pixel wide representations.
- Morphological operations can be applied to binary or grayscale images. Structuring elements are used to specify the neighborhood of pixels

Digital Image Processing: Image Segmentation
This document discusses image segmentation techniques. It describes how segmentation partitions an image into meaningful regions based on discontinuities or similarities in pixel intensity.

Adaptive thresholding is also introduced as a technique to handle uneven illumination.
Brain Tumor Segmentation using Enhanced U-Net Model with Empirical Analysis
Cancer of the brain is deadly and requires careful surgical segmentation. The brain tumors were segmented using U-Net using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). When looking for overlaps of necrotic, edematous, growing, and healthy tissue, it might be hard to get relevant information from the images. The 2D U-Net network was improved and trained with the BraTS datasets to find these four areas. U-Net can set up many encoder and decoder routes that can be used to get information from images that can be used in different ways. To reduce computational time, we use image segmentation to exclude insignificant background details. Experiments on the BraTS datasets show that our proposed model for segmenting brain tumors from MRI (MRI) works well. In this study, we demonstrate that the BraTS datasets for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 do not significantly differ from the BraTS 2019 dataset's attained dice scores of 0.8717 (necrotic), 0.9506 (edema), and 0.9427 (enhancing).

Smoothing in Digital Image Processing
Digital Image Processing denotes the process of digital images with the use of digital computer. Digital images are contains various types of noises which are reduces the quality of images. Noises can be removed by various enhancement techniques. Image smoothing is a key technology of image enhancement, which can remove noise in images.
05 histogram processing DIP
Histograms show the distribution of pixel intensities in an image by counting the number of pixels for each intensity value. Normalized histograms provide an estimate of the probability of each intensity occurring. Histogram equalization transforms the pixel intensity distribution of an image to a uniform distribution in order to increase contrast. It does this by using the cumulative distribution function to map intensities to new output values. Local histogram equalization performs this on neighborhoods within an image to enhance local details. Arithmetic and logical operations can also be used for image enhancement, such as AND, OR, and subtraction between images on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
point operations in image processing
1. Point operations modify pixel values without changing the image size or structure. Each new pixel value depends only on the original value at that point.
2. Histogram equalization finds a point operation to make the modified image histogram approximate a uniform distribution. This can only shift and merge histogram entries, not split them.
3. Other point operations discussed include increasing brightness by adding a constant value to each pixel, inverting pixels by subtracting from 255, thresholding to make pixels above a level white and below black, and alpha blending images with transparency control.
4. Automatic contrast adjustment and increasing contrast by multiplying pixel values by 1.5 are also point operations described.
Morphological operations
This document discusses morphological operations in image processing. It describes how morphological operations like erosion, dilation, opening, and closing can be used to extract shapes and boundaries from binary and grayscale images. Erosion shrinks foreground regions while dilation expands them. Opening performs erosion followed by dilation to remove noise, and closing does the opposite to join broken parts. The hit-and-miss transform is also introduced to detect patterns in binary images using a structuring element containing foreground and background pixels. Examples are provided to illustrate each morphological operation.
Segmentation
Image segmentation refers to partitioning a digital image into multiple regions or sets of pixels based on characteristics like color or texture. The goal is to simplify the image representation to make it easier to analyze. Some applications in medical imaging include locating tumors, measuring tissue volumes, and computer-guided surgery. Common segmentation techniques include thresholding, edge detection, region growing, and split-and-merge approaches.

IMAGE SEGMENTATION TECHNIQUES
This document discusses various techniques for image segmentation. It begins by defining image segmentation as dividing an image into constituent regions or objects based on visual characteristics.

- Common transforms like Fourier use separable, symmetric kernels to decompose images into frequency domains.
Planning in Artificial Intelligence
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), planning refers to the process of developing a sequence of actions or steps that an intelligent agent should take to achieve a specific goal or solve a particular problem. AI planning is a fundamental component of many AI systems and has applications in various domains, including robotics, autonomous systems, scheduling, logistics, and more. Here are some key aspects of planning in AI:
Definition of Planning: Planning involves defining a problem, specifying the initial state, setting a goal state, and finding a sequence of actions or a plan that transforms the initial state into the desired goal state while adhering to certain constraints.
State-Space Representation: In AI planning, the problem is often represented as a state-space, where each state represents a snapshot of the system, and actions transform one state into another. The goal is to find a path through this state-space from the initial state to the goal state.
Search Algorithms: AI planning typically relies on search algorithms to explore the state-space efficiently. Uninformed search algorithms, such as depth-first search and breadth-first search, can be used, as well as informed search algorithms, like A* search, which incorporates heuristics to guide the search.
Heuristics: Heuristics are used in planning to estimate the cost or distance from a state to the goal. Heuristic functions help inform the search algorithms by providing an estimate of how close a state is to the solution. Good heuristics can significantly improve the efficiency of the search.
Plan Execution: Once a plan is generated, the next step is plan execution, where the agent carries out the actions in the plan to achieve the desired goal. This often requires monitoring the environment to ensure that the actions are executed as planned.
Temporal and Hierarchical Planning: In more complex scenarios, temporal planning deals with actions that have temporal constraints, and hierarchical planning involves creating plans at multiple levels of abstraction, making planning more manageable in complex domains.
Partial and Incremental Planning: Sometimes, it may not be necessary to create a complete plan from scratch. Partial and incremental planning allows agents to adapt and modify existing plans to respond to changing circumstances.
Applications: Planning is used in a wide range of applications, from manufacturing and logistics (e.g., scheduling production and delivery) to robotics (e.g., path planning for robots) and game playing (e.g., chess and video games).
Challenges: Challenges in AI planning include dealing with large search spaces, handling uncertainty, addressing resource constraints, and optimizing plans for efficiency and performance.
AI planning is a critical component in creating intelligent systems that can autonomously make decisions and solve complex problems.

It involves smoothing the image, finding gradients, non-maximum suppression to detect local maxima, and hysteresis thresholding to determine real edges. The performance of Canny edge detection depends on adjustable parameters like the Gaussian filter's standard deviation and threshold values, which can be tailored for different environments.

Abstract Segmentation is an important image processing technique that helps to analyze an image automatically. Applications involving detection or recognition of objects in images often include segmentation process. This paper describes two unsupervised clustering based color image segmentation techniques namely K-means clustering and Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering. The advantages and disadvantages of both K-means and Fuzzy C-means algorithm are also presented in this paper. K-means algorithm takes less computation time as compared to Fuzzy C-means algorithm which produces result close to that of K-means. On the other hand in FCM algorithm each pixel of an image can have membership to more than one cluster which is not in case of K-means algorithm, an advantage to FCM method. Color images contain wide variety of information and are more complicated than gray scale images. In image processing, though color image segmentation is a challenging task but provides a path for image analysis in practical application fields. Secondly some novel approaches to FCM algorithm for better image segmentation are also discussed such as SFCM (Spatial FCM) and THFCM (Thresholding FCM). Basic FCM algorithm does not take into consideration the spatial information of the image. SFCM specially focus on spatial details and contribute towards image segmentation results for image analysis. It introduces spatial function into FCM algorithm membership function and then operates with available spatial information. THFCM is another approach that focus on thresholding technique for image segmentation. It main task is to find a discerner cluster that will act as automatic threshold. These two approaches shows how better segmentation results can be obtained.

It introduces spatial function into FCM algorithm membership function and then operates with available spatial information. THFCM is another approach that focus on thresholding technique for image segmentation. It main task is to find a discerner cluster that will act as automatic threshold. These two approaches shows how better segmentation results can be obtained.

Edge exposure or edge detection is an important and classical study of the medical field and computer vision. Caliber Fuzzy C-means (CFCM) clustering Algorithm for edge detection depends on the selection of initial cluster center value. This endeavor to put in order a collection of pixels into a cluster, such that a pixel within the cluster must be more comparable to every other pixel. Using CFCM techniques first cluster the BSDS image, next the clustered image is given as an input to the basic canny edge detection algorithm. The application of new parameters with fewer operations for CFCM is fruitful. According to the calculation, a result acquired by using CFCM clustering function divides the image into four clusters in common. The proposed method is evidently robust into the modification of fuzzy c-means and canny algorithm. The convergence of this algorithm is very speedy compare to the entire edge detection algorithms. The consequences of this proposed algorithm make enhanced edge detection and better result than any other traditional image edge detection techniques.
Pillar k means
This document presents a new approach called Pillar-K-means for image segmentation. Pillar-K-means applies a clustering algorithm called K-means to group pixels in images, but first optimizes the K-means process using an algorithm called Pillar. This is done to improve precision and reduce computation time for image segmentation. The document describes K-means clustering and its issues, then introduces Pillar-K-means which optimizes K-means initialization to enhance segmentation accuracy and speed. Experiments show Pillar-K-means improved over standard K-means.
A STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT EDGE DETECTION TECHNIQUES
In the first study [1], a combination of K-means, watershed segmentation method, and Difference In Strength (DIS) map were used to perform image segmentation and edge detection
tasks. We obtained an initial segmentation based on K-means clustering technique. Starting from this, we used two techniques; the first is watershed technique with new merging
procedures based on mean intensity value to segment the image regions and to detect their boundaries. The second is edge strength technique to obtain accurate edge maps of our images without using watershed method. In this technique: We solved the problem of undesirable over segmentation results produced by the watershed algorithm, when used directly with raw data images. Also, the edge maps we obtained have no broken lines on entire image. In the 2nd study level set methods are used for the implementation of curve/interface evolution under various forces. In the third study the main idea is to detect regions (objects) boundaries, to isolate and extract individual components from a medical image. This is done using an active contours to detect regions in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford–Shah functional for segmentation and level sets. Once we classified our images into different intensity regions based on Markov Random Field. Then we detect regions whose boundaries are not necessarily defined by gradient by minimize an energy of Mumford–Shah functional forsegmentation, where in the level set formulation, the problem becomes a mean-curvature which will stop on the desired boundary. The stopping term does not depend on the gradient of the image as in the classical active contour. The initial curve of level set can be anywhere in the image, and interior contours are automatically detected. The final image segmentation is one
closed boundary per actual region in the image.
Segmentation by Fusion of Self-Adaptive SFCM Cluster in Multi-Color Space Com...
This paper proposes a new, simple, and efficient segmentation approach that could find diverse applications in pattern recognition as well as in computer vision, particularly in color image segmentation. First, we choose the best segmentation components among six different color spaces. Then, Histogram and SFCM techniques are applied for initialization of segmentation. Finally, we fuse the segmentation results and merge similar regions. Extensive experiments have been taken on Berkeley image database by using the proposed algorithm. The results show that, compared with some classical segmentation algorithms, such as Mean-Shift, FCR and CTM, etc, our method could yield reasonably good or better image partitioning, which illustrates practical value of the method.
Image segmentation
The document discusses image segmentation techniques. It describes image segmentation as partitioning a digital image into multiple regions based on characteristics like color or texture. Common applications of image segmentation include industrial inspection, optical character recognition, and medical imaging. The techniques discussed are fixed thresholding, iterative thresholding, and fuzzy c-means clustering. Fuzzy c-means clustering is identified as the most suitable for pest image segmentation based on its lower entropy and normalized mutual information values. Simulated annealing is also proposed to improve upon the limitations of fuzzy c-means clustering.

Brain tumor segmentation using asymmetry based histogram thresholding and k m...eSAT Publishing House
This document presents a method for segmenting brain tumors from MRI images using asymmetry-based histogram thresholding and k-means clustering. The method involves 8 steps: 1) preprocessing the MRI image using sharpening and median filters, 2) computing histograms of the left and right halves of the image, 3) calculating a threshold value using the difference between left and right histograms, 4) applying thresholding and morphological operations to extract the tumor region, 5) applying k-means clustering and using the cluster centroids to refine the segmentation. The method is tested on 30 MRI images and results show the tumor region is accurately segmented. The segmented tumors can then be used for quantification, classification, and computer-assisted diagnosis of brain tumors.Multimedia Security - JPEG Artifact details
The document discusses techniques for detecting image forgeries by analyzing JPEG artifacts. It describes the JPEG compression process and how discrete cosine transform (DCT) is applied to blocks of pixels. Quantization tables are used to quantize DCT coefficients, with standard tables published by the Independent JPEG Group.

Fuzzy clustering1
This document presents a new approach for automatic fuzzy clustering of magnetic resonance images. The approach combines multi-degree immersion and entropy algorithms (multi-degree entropy algorithm) to determine the optimal number of clusters in an image without human input. Multi-degree immersion first segments the image into multiple levels based on intensity. Entropy is then used to merge regions to arrive at the final cluster number based on a validity function. The method is tested on simulated and real MRI data and shown to produce accurate results, outperforming other validity indices. The approach provides an automatic way to determine the appropriate number of clusters for segmenting medical images.
Fuzzy clustering Approach in segmentation of T1-T2 brain MRI
Segmentation is a difficult and challenging
problem in the magnetic resonance images, and it
considered as important in computer vision and artificial
intelligence. Many researchers have applied various
techniques however fuzzy c-means (FCM) based
algorithms is more effective compared to other methods.
In this paper, we present a novel FCM algorithm for
weighted bias (also called intensity in-homogeneities)
estimation and segmentation of MRI. Normally, the
intensity inhomogeneities are attributed to imperfections
in the radio-frequency coils or to the problems associated
with the image acquisition. Our algorithm is formulated
by modifying the objective function of the standard FCM
and it has the advantage that it can be applied at an early
stage in an automated data analysis. Further this paper
proposes a center knowledge method in order to reduce
the running time of proposed algorithm. The proposed
method can deal with the intensity in-homogeneities and
image noise effectively. We have compared our results
with other reported methods. The results using real MRI
data show that our method provides better results
compared to standard FCM based algorithms and other
modified FCM-based techniques.

This document discusses image segmentation techniques using clustering algorithms. It introduces Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, which allows data points to belong to multiple clusters with varying degrees of membership. However, FCM does not work well on noisy or non-linearly separable data. The document proposes the Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (KFCM) algorithm, which uses a kernel function to map data to a higher dimensional space, making separation easier. While improving results for noisy images, KFCM does not consider neighboring pixels. Finally, the document introduces the Novel Modified Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (NMKFCM) algorithm, which incorporates neighborhood information into the objective function to further improve segmentation accuracy, especially for noisy images

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
