| | Image Segmentation |
 | | Image segmentation is a computational process and should NOT be treated as a task. | | | Image segmentation is a long standing problem in computer vision. | | | A segmentation algorithm must be general enough to handle many families of image models in a principled way. |

| | 3-D IMAGE SEGMENTATION |
| | Image segmentation by thresholding is a simple but powerful approach for images containing solid objects which are distinguishable from the background or other objects in terms of pixel intensity values. | | | A 3D image typically has a large number of pixels and is very compute intensive for processing such as segmentation and pattern recognition. | | | The advantage of this structure is simple and almost identical to the original image, but it requires a huge amount of computer memory to store and computing power to process. |

| | Quad-Tree Segmentation for Texture-Based Image Query |
| | We combine the quad-tree data structure with wavelet subband representation to perform image segmentation as follows: for each quad-tree block, features are extracted by computing the wavelet decomposition of the block, as indicated in Figure 5 (a). | | | The advantage of these wavelet spatial-frequency approaches is that simple statistics computed from the subband images may be used because the images have limited spectral information [12]. | | | In most previous attempts at developing query methods for image databases researchers have not chosen to automate the segmentation process [15]. |

| | The new algorithm uses the segmentation of the preoperative data as a template for the segmentation of the intraoperative data. | | | Figure 5 shows a segmentation of the preoperative scan, with the brain seen through the transparently rendered skin surface and the segmentation of the brain from the intraoperative scan. | | | Intraoperative image segmentation is highly data and compute intensive. |

| | Color Image Segmentation |
| | Another algorithm for color image segmentation has been developed; it is based on separately filtering with anisotropic diffusion the chromatic and achromatic channels of the image, which are then separately segmented. | | | Two feature-based segmentation techniques were developed that, wherever possible, handle color images in a palletized format to speed up the computation time. | | | In this project we have investigated both supervised and unsupervised color image segmentation problems, and have developed a number of new algorithms. |

| | The highest level of the segmentation tree must correspond to the expected number of image regions and the pyramid height defines the maximum number of segmentation branches. | | | Using segmentation trees, in which regions do not have to be contiguous, is both implementationally and computationally easier. | | | This recomputed pyramid data structure is used to generate a new segmentation tree, beginning again at the lowest level. |

| | Image Segmentation |
| | Image segmentation is one of the most well addressed problems in computer vision. | | | Knowledge based approaches consider a problem of lower complexity where some prior knowledge on the object to be recovered is available. | | | While several methodologies have been proposed to address the problem, our research addressed the problem within the area of variational and level set methods. |

| | Image Analysis |
| | The extension of the watershed algorithm for the segmentation of colour textures. | | | One of the notable achievements of the group during the past year was the development of an image segmentation algorithm based on simultaneous spatial and feature space clustering. | | | In order to achieve successful segmentation of what is effectively spatially indexed data, one should exploit simultaneously global and local statistics that can be computed from the image, together with pixel connectivity information. |

| | Grouping and Image Segmentation |
| | As a side result, we are able to label the body parts as we computes its segmentation from the background. | | | We are motivated by the figure-ground segmentation problem. | | | We are particularly interested in how partial grouping information, which might come from a generative color/texture models, user hand inputs, or attention, can be included in the discriminative grouping approach of Ncut. |

| | We therefore postulate that there is no unique possible decomposition of the image that may satisfy the user, but rather a collection of objects seen at different scales that the user wants to select. | | | The definition of what is called an object depends on user subjectivty which defines parameters such as semantic level, scale, and so on. | | | However, defining the complete collection would lead to an exponential complexity and would make it very difficult for the user to cope with such a representation. |

| | A reasonable aim is to use partial segmentation as an input to higher level processing. | | | Because of the different natures of the various edge- and region-based algorithms, they may be expected to give somewhat different results and consequently different information. | | | Problems - estimating normal distribution parameters together with the uncertainty that the distribution may be considered normal. |

| | Image Segmentation |
| | Image segmentation is the most important processing step in a low level vision system. | | | Image segmentation is a previous step in any image interpretation system, the correction of the results will greatly depend on the segmentation process results quality. | | | It consists on the division of the image into a group of elemental disjoint regions characterized by the constancy of some property (grey level, colour, texture, etc.). |

| | Another way of extracting and representing information from an image is to group pixels together into regions of similarity. | | | -- we group together pixels according to the rate of change of depth in the image, corresponding to pixels lying on the same surface such as a plane, cylinder, sphere etc. |
