IMAGE SEGMENTATION
Among the various image processing techniques image segmentation is very important step to analyse the given image (A. M. Khan, 2013). Image segmentation is the fundamental step to analyze image and extract data from them. The goal of image segmentation is to cluster the pixels into small image region and that region corresponding to individual surfaces, objects, or natural parts of objects. Segmentation subdivides an image into its constituent regions or objects. The level of subdivision is depending on the problem being solved. That is, segmentation should stop when the objects of interest have been isolated. The goal of segmentation is to change and simplify the representation of an image into something that is more

It could detect the variation of grey levels, but it is sensitive to noise. Edge detection is an important task in image processing. It is main tool in pattern recognition, image segmentation, and scene analysis. Edge are local changes in the image intensity edge typically occur on the boundary between two regions. The main features are extracted from the edges of an image. Edge detection has major features for image analysis. These features are used by advanced computer vision algorithm. Edge detection is used for object detection which serves various applications like medical image processing, biometrics …show more content…
Thresholding technique is based on image space regions i.e. on characteristics of image. Thresholding operation convert a multilevel image into a binary that is it choose a proper thresholding T, to divide image pixels into several regions and separate objects from background. Any pixel (x, y) is considered as a part of object if its intensity is greater than or equal to threshold value i.e., f(x, y) ≥T, else pixel belong to background.
Based on the selection of threshold value, there are two type of thresholding method:-
1. Global thresholding: - global thresholding methods is used when the intensity distribution between the objects of foreground and background are very distinct. When the difference between foreground and background objects is very distinct, a single value of threshold can simply be used to differentiate both objects apart. Thus, in this type of thresholding, the value of threshold T depends on the property of the pixel and the grey level value of the image. Some of the common used global thresholding methods are Otsu method, entropy based thresholding, etc.
2. Local thresholding: - This method divides an image into several sub regions and then chooses various thresholds Ts for each sub region respectively. Thus, threshold depends on
In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari, to some extent following Gabriel Tarde, famously claim that 'every politics is simultaneously a macropolitics and a micropolitics' (Deleuze & Guattari 1987, 213). This point is, of course, inscribed in their complex philosophical oeuvre, but, in my opinion, several remarks on it would suffice to prove its relevance for the present research. For Deleuze and Guattari, the social nowadays is characterized by two types of segmentation, namely, supple and rigid. The most perfect example of rigid segmentation is the modern hierarchically organized state, while supple segmentation can be related to all kinds of "microscopic relations" which already existed in the primitive societies. These two type of segmentation cannot be separated from each other and are necessarily entangled. As they go on to argue, 'every society, and every individual, are thus plied by both segmentarities simultaneously: one molar, the other molecular' (Deleuze & Guattari 1987, 213). So, for instance, the proletariat is, so to speak, a molar unit which belongs to the macropolitical dimension. But it is crucial that any class emerges from within the molecular masses. As Deleuze and Guattari argue, 'the
For instance, if the audience were to just analyze the picture a little more closely they can see what the photographer is trying to demonstrate to them. By
...visual information is processed to extract identity, location, and ways that we might interact with objects. A prominent anatomical distinction is drawn between the "what" and "where" pathways in visual processing. However, the commonly labeled "where" pathways is also the "how" pathway, at least partially dedicated to action.
When we take a closer look at the picture, we are able to depict symbols that will means something to us, it is called the paradigmatic analysis. You are able to comprehend a
...io lateral oblique (MLO)) of the same breast, and same view mammograms were taken at different times. Unsupervised segmentation using a single view can in turn be categorized into six classes, region-based segmentation, contour-based segmentation, clustering segmentation, pseudo-color segmentation, graph segmentation, and variant-feature transformation.
So, the reason for the study of visual crowding is because it can increase our knowledge on object recognition processes for example, feature integration. (Levi, (2008)
Imagine a researcher requesting you to copy a picture. It's a simple task. You move your instrument of illustration across a sheet of blank paper with ease, glancing from the given picture to your own sketch in progress. When you are finished you observe a satisfactory replica and feel a sense of accomplishment and proficiency with the similarity you have achieved between picture and sketch. Then the researcher queries whether you can tell him what you have drawn. You search the interconnected lines, the edges, and the shapes of your sketch but cannot answer what the picture represents. Finally, an explanation is given. You have just drawn a house- a simple triangle resting on top of a square. Your sense of accomplishment is quickly replaced with a feeling of despair.
Different parts of images are stored in "layers" so each part can be manipulated without changing the rest. You can, for example, add text on a layer then resize, paint, or remove the text without damaging the picture stored on a different layer. Click this tab to see the various layers in the image. (Note that most images will start with a single background layer only.)
Gaussian filter is exclusively used for this purpose as the mask is simple. The standard convolution method is performed once the mask is calculated. Since the convolution mask is usually much smaller than the actual image, the mask slides over the image , manipulating the pixels in the image. The large width Gaussian masks are not preferred as detector's sensitivity to noise is low and moreover, the localization error in the detected edges also increases with increase in Gaussian mask width.

Image intensification is the process of converting x-ray into visible light. “Early fluoroscopic procedures produced visual images of low intensity, which required the radiologist's eyes to be dark adapted and restricted image recording. In the late 1940s, with the rapid developments in electronics and borrowing the ideas from vacuum tube technology, scientists invented the x-ray image intensifier, which considerably brightened fluoroscopic images” (Wang & Blackburn, 2000, np). We will explore the image-intensification tube, the various gain parameters associated with the tube, and the magnification mode of the image intensifier.
Then classification is performed on the basis of similarity score of a class with respect to a neighbor.
Perception is a mysterious thing; it faces a lot of misconception, for it can merely be described as a lens, as it decides how someone views the events happening around them. Perception is the definition of how someone decides to use their senses to observe and make conceptions about events or conditions they see or that are around them. Perception also represents how people choose to observe regardless if it’s in a negative or positive way. In other words, perception can be described as people's cognitive function of how they interpret abstract situations or conjunctures around them. All in all, perception can do three things for someone: perception can change the way someone thinks in terms of their emotions and motivations, perception acts
Perception is defined as the process of organizing, interpreting, and selectively extracting sensory information . Visual perception is left to the individual person to make up their own mind. Perceptual organisation occurs when one groups the basic elements of the sensory world into the coherant objects that one perceives. Perception is therefore a process through which the brain makes sense of incoming stimuli.
Correlation- based method: It uses richer gray scale information. It overcome problems of above method, it can work with bad quality data. But it has some of its own problems like localization of points.
