Abstract:
Segmentation of the aorta is important for the diagnosis and treatment of aortic disease. However, low image contrast and blurred boundaries between the aortic region and surrounding tissues can significantly affect segmentation performance. Based on 3D-UNet with spatial attention module, this paper proposes a multi-branch shape-aware segmentation network named CDM-Net, which transforms the traditional segmentation problem into a regression problem of distance transformation map and centerline heatmap. A new inference method based on regression is also proposed, the prediction of our network can be combined with the predictions of other networks. Without changing other segmentation metrics (Dice, ASD), the clDice of the combined method improves by 1.5%. Our proposed method can improve the connectivity of aorta segmentation results, paving the way for accurate centerline extraction and multiplanar reconstruction in the future.In this paper, we address the problem of object segmentation, which is important for further scene analysis and scene understanding. To improve the accuracy of object segmentation from the images with indoor scenes, we propose a new algorithm which combined perceptual organization method with color information and depth information. In the proposed algorithm, firstly, the gPb-ucm method is used for initial segmentation, and then, color information and depth information are both used for perceptual organization. Color information and depth information are combined to achieve a complementary effect, and on the basis of image foremost segmentation, the segmentation result is modified by perceptual organization. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of object segmentation.

Object segmentation is one of the vital tasks in various three-dimensional applications. The paper presents a hybrid object segmentation algorithm to combine intensity segmentation and disparity segmentation in a stereoscopic vision system. First, the disparity maps of the stereo images are estimated using a foreground-based disparity estimation method. Then, the intensity stereo images and their corresponding disparity maps are separately segmented using a region-growing technique. The real segmentation mask can be obtained and the semantic object be extracted by a fusion processing on the intensity and disparity segments. Computer simulations indicate the reliable performance of the proposed algorithm for stereoscopic segmentation.

We present an algorithm that combines image segmentation and motion field estimation. The segmentation includes the occluded and uncovered background regions, the self-occluded and uncovered object regions, and the common moving regions of the objects.

In this paper we address a new method for motion camera video segmentation. Most video segmentation methods use the temporal gradient between two consecutive frames and therefore are not robust to light variations and noise. Thus we present a new region based active contour segmentation on a group of pictures. This new segmentation proceeds in two steps: first a mosaic is computed to generate the background sequence of the video; then color region based active contour segmentation is applied on each video frame, related to its background. Finally, we show experimental results obtained on real sequences after each step of the algorithm i.e. the background mosaic and the final segmented objects.

영상에서 배경으로부터 객체를 추출하는 영상 segmentation 알고리즘은 물체 인식 및 추적 등 다양한 응용분야에서 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 카메라에서 다수의 초기 프레임을 참조하여 실시간 객체 segmentation 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 객체와 배경을 분류하는 확률모델을 제안하였으며 초기 프레임 동안에 카메라의 color consistency와 focus 특성을 분석하여 안정적인 segmentation 성능을 증가시켰다. 또한 분류된 객체에서 human의 skeleton 특성을 이용하여 추출 결과를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안된 알고리즘은 객체 segmentation 실시간 처리를 위하여 복잡도를 최소화하므로 다양한 mobile 단말에 확대 적용 가능하다. The object segmentation algorithm from the background could be used for object recognition and tracking, and many applications. To segment objects, this paper proposes a method that refer to several initial frames with real-time processing at fixed camera. First we suggest the probability model to segment object and background and we enhance the performance of algorithm analyzing the color consistency and focus characteristic of camera for several initial frames. We compensate the segmentation result by using human skeleton characteristic among extracted objects. Last the proposed method has the applicability for various mobile application as we minimize computing complexity for real-time video processing.

This paper presents a new algorithm for video-object segmentation, which combines motion-based segmentation, high-level object-model detection, and spatial segmentation into a single framework. This joint approach overcomes the disadvantages of these algorithms when applied independently. These disadvantages include the low semantic accuracy of spatial segmentation and the inexact object boundaries obtained from object-model matching and motion segmentation. The now proposed algorithm alleviates three problems common to all motion-based segmentation algorithms. First, it completes object areas that cannot be clearly distinguished from the background because their color is near the background color. Second, parts of the object that are not considered to belong to the object since they are not moving, are still added to the object mask. Finally, when several objects are moving, of which only one is of interest, it is detected that the remaining regions do not belong to any object-model and these regions are removed from the foreground. This suppresses regions erroneously considered as moving or objects that are moving but that are completely irrelevant to the user.

Scene segmentation is a pre-processing step for many vision systems. We are concerned with segmentation as a precursor to 3D scene modeling. Segmentation of a scene for this purpose usually involves dividing an image into areas that are relatively uniform in some value (e.g. intensity, range, or curvature). This single segmented image represents the analogous segmented scene. This paper presents a segmentation method that uses features to indicate boundaries or edges between regions. We incorporate features from multiple images types to obtain an more accurate segmentation of objects or object parts in the scene. Multiple features are not only combined directly to improve segmentation results, but they are also used to guide a smoothing operation. This smoothing technique preserves features representing edges while smoothing noise in the images.

Image segmentation is the most important key in tracking processing of infrared imaging precise guidance. For the segmentation of forward-looking infrared (FLIR) images, a new method was proposed, which uses Wiener filter to suppress background and enhance target, then uses the C-V model to perform segmentation. The C-V model was improved on segmentation ability and precision. A new energy constructing method was proposed that using multi-characteristic information to divide homogeneity region in image. Experimental result shows that the presented method can more effectively and integrally extract the target than the method of traditional C-V model under low contrast condition, and reduce the influence of background greatly.

The problems of object detection on an image and labeling of pixels, corresponding to each detected object (segmentation) are solved. In the work we have examined such issues as filtering and preparation depth data, extraction of semantically rich features vectors from the RGB-D images and classification methods, allowing implementing the objects detection and segmentation.
