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.
Image segmentation involves grouping similar image components, such as pixels, into segments. It has applications in medical imaging, satellite imagery, and video summarization. Common methods include thresholding, k-means clustering, and region-based approaches. Thresholding segments an image based on pixel intensity values, while k-means clustering groups pixels into a specified number of clusters based on color or other feature similarity. Region-based methods grow or merge regions of similar pixels. Watershed segmentation treats an image as a topographic surface and finds boundaries between regions.

This document discusses various image processing and analysis techniques. It describes image segmentation as separating an image into meaningful parts to facilitate analysis. Common segmentation techniques mentioned include thresholding, edge detection, color-based segmentation, and histograms. Thresholding involves separating foreground and background using a threshold value. Edge detection finds edges and contours. Color segmentation extracts information based on color. Histograms locate clusters of pixels to distinguish regions. The document provides examples of applying these techniques and concludes that segmentation partitions an image into homogeneous regions to extract high-level information.
Region-based image segmentation partitions an image into regions based on pixel properties like homogeneity and spatial proximity. The key region-based methods are thresholding, clustering, region growing, and split-and-merge. Region growing works by aggregating neighboring pixels with similar attributes into regions starting from seed pixels. Split-and-merge first over-segments an image and then refines the segmentation by splitting regions with high variance and merging similar adjacent regions. Region-based segmentation is used for tasks like object recognition, image compression, and medical imaging.
Image segmentation is an important image processing step, and it is used everywhere if we want to analyze what is inside the image. Image segmentation, basically provide the meaningful objects of the image.

AUTOMATIC DOMINANT REGION SEGMENTATION FOR NATURAL IMAGES cscpconf
The document proposes an automatic dominant region segmentation algorithm for natural images. It begins with an introduction to image segmentation and its applications. A literature review covers previous work on color image segmentation techniques. The proposed algorithm first converts the input RGB image to grayscale, applies preprocessing like filtering, and performs edge detection. It then separates the foreground object from the background using thresholding. Dominant regions are identified and the segmented color image with boundaries is produced. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show the algorithm avoids over-segmentation compared to previous methods like JSEG. The conclusions state that color and texture are important for segmentation and the proposed method simple implements dominant region extraction.
Automatic dominant region segmentation for natural imagescsandit
Image Segmentation segments an image into different homogenous regions. An efficient
semantic based image retrieval system divides the image into different regions separated by
color or texture sometimes even both. Features are extracted from the segmented regions and
are annotated automatically. Relevant images are retrieved from the database based on the
keywords of the segmented region In this paper, automatic image segmentation is proposed to
obtained dominant region of the input natural images. Dominant region are segmented and
results are obtained . Results are also recorded in comparison to JSEG algorithm
The development of multimedia system technology in Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR) System is
one in every of the outstanding area to retrieve the images from an oversized collection of database. The feature
vectors of the query image are compared with feature vectors of the database images to get matching images.It is
much observed that anyone algorithm isn't beneficial in extracting all differing kinds of natural images. Thus an
intensive analysis of certain color, texture and shape extraction techniques are allotted to spot an efficient CBIR
technique that suits for a selected sort of images. The Extraction of an image includes feature description and
feature extraction. During this paper, we tend to projected Color Layout Descriptor (CLD), grey Level Co-
Occurrences Matrix (GLCM), Marker-Controlled Watershed Segmentation feature extraction technique that
extract the matching image based on the similarity of Color, Texture and shape within the database. For
performance analysis, the image retrieval timing results of the projected technique is calculated and compared
with every of the individual feature.
Developing 3D Viewing Model from 2D Stereo Pair with its Occlusion RatioCSCJournals
We intend to make a 3D model using a stereo pair of images by using a novel method of local matching in pixel domain for calculating horizontal disparities. We also find the occlusion ratio using the stereo pair followed by the use of The Edge Detection and Image SegmentatiON (EDISON) system, on one the images, which provides a complete toolbox for discontinuity preserving filtering, segmentation and edge detection. Instead of assigning a disparity value to each pixel, a disparity plane is assigned to each segment. We then warp the segment disparities to the original image to get our final 3D viewing Model.
Importance of Mean Shift in Remote Sensing SegmentationIOSR Journals

An Evolutionary Dynamic Clustering based Colour Image SegmentationCSCJournals
We have presented a novel Dynamic Colour Image Segmentation (DCIS) System for colour image. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient colour image segmentation algorithm based on evolutionary approach i.e. dynamic GA based clustering (GADCIS). The proposed technique automatically determines the optimum number of clusters for colour images. The optimal number of clusters is obtained by using cluster validity criterion with the help of Gaussian distribution. The advantage of this method is that no a priori knowledge is required to segment the color image. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on well known natural images and its performance is compared to other clustering techniques. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed algorithm producing comparable segmentation results.

The document provides examples of applying these techniques to extract features and segment objects from images.
This document presents a hybrid approach for color image segmentation that integrates color edge information and seeded region growing. It uses color edge detection in CIE L*a*b color space to select initial seed regions and guide region growth. Seeded region growing is performed based on color similarity between pixels. The edge map and region map are fused to produce homogeneous regions with closed boundaries. Small regions are then merged. The approach is tested on images from the Berkeley segmentation dataset and produces reasonably good segmentation results by combining color and edge information.
This document discusses techniques for image segmentation and edge detection. It proposes a generalized boundary detection method called Gb that combines low-level and mid-level image representations in a single eigenvalue problem to detect boundaries.

Common methods for edge detection are described, including gradient-based, texture-based, and projection profile-based approaches. Improved Harris and corner detection algorithms are presented to more accurately detect edges and corners. The output of Gb using soft segmentations as input is shown to correlate well with occlusions and whole object boundaries while capturing general boundaries.

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.
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.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

3. ABSTRACT
This paper presents a part of a more challenging research
project aimed at developing a computer vision system for a
robot capable of identifying all objects from known natural
backgrounds such as forest, sky, ocean, under-water scenes
and etc.
Segmentation is an import issue in the field of machine vision
for detection and recognition of objects.
The success of segmentation is solely depends on the
separation of foreground objects from background objects.
We present a simple framework to extract the foreground
objects from the known natural backgrounds in still and moving
images using pixel based color segmentation in RGB space.

9. HSV VS RGB.
In day to day practice, we'll most likely use
two models:
HSV and RGB.
HSV stands for
Hue,
Saturation, and
Value,
and it uses these three concepts to describe a color.
RGB the three colors that make up an image on a monitor.
11. Color segmentation
In the problem of segmentation, the goal is to separate spatial regions of
an image on the basis of similarity within each region and distinction
between different regions.
Approaches to color-based segmentation range from empirical evaluation
of various color spaces, to clustering in feature space , to physics-based
modeling
The essential difference between color segmentation and color recognition
is that the former uses color to separate objects without a priori
knowledge about specific surfaces; the latter attempts to recognize colors
of known color characteristics
17. SEGMENTATION
Partitioning images into meaningful
pieces, e.g. delineating regions of
anatomical interest.
Edge based – find boundaries between
regions
Pixel Classification – metrics classify regions
Region based – similarity of pixels within a
segment

23. Segmentation fault
A segmentation fault (often shortened to
segfault) or access violation is a particular
error condition that can occur during the
operation of computer software.
A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access
a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to
access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for
example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to
overwrite part of the operating system).
25. Thresholding
Suppose that an image, f(x,y), is composed of
light objects on a dark background, and the
following figure is the histogram of the image.
Then, the objects can be extracted by
comparing pixel values with a threshold T.

37. Summary / Closing
Thoughts
Segmentation is the essential but critical problem in
the field of machine vision. At a stretch, robotics can
not be done with a complete knowledge about
foreground and background objects.
We have proposed pixel based color segmentation
approach to segment the known backgrounds such
as forest, sky, ocean, underwater scenes and etc.
which will be of unique color generally and the results
obtained were satisfactory.
This color segmentation process will overcome the
main problems with change of pose and occlusion
and overcomes the limitation occurs in the motion
analysis and background subtraction methods.
38. Conclusions
Translation (visual to semantic) model for object recognition
Identify and evaluate low-level vision processes for recognition
Feature evaluation
Color and texture are the most important in that order
Shape needs better segmentation methods
Segmentation evaluation
Performance depends on # regions for annotation
Mean Shift and modified NCuts do better than original NCuts for # regions < 6
Color constancy evaluation
Training with illumination helps
Color constancy processing helps (scale-by-max better than gray-world)
