Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to an image segmentation method.
Background
Image segmentation is a fundamental and important task in the field of image processing and computer vision, and the segmentation results will directly affect the performance of subsequent processing steps.
The uneven gray scale of the image is always a difficult problem for image segmentation. In recent decades, active contour model (active contour model) has become one of the most widely applied methods in the image segmentation field, and can be divided into two categories: boundary-based and region-based methods.
However, the existing active contour model cannot obtain ideal segmentation results in many times. The boundary-based active contour model makes such models sensitive to edge information in the image because the information of image gradients is utilized in the energy functional. Therefore, the performance of segmenting images with rich edge information, such as tigers and leopards in natural images and lesions with calcification and necrosis in medical images, is unsatisfactory. The region-based active contour model (e.g., C-V [1], RSF [2]) can solve the disadvantage of the boundary-based active contour model that is sensitive to edge information to some extent. Such models do not take into account the edge information of the image and can sometimes segment image objects with weak boundaries. But such models typically require that the object of the image be as homogenous as possible to the background. The RSF model of Li et al [2] utilizes inter-pixel spatial information by introducing a Gaussian kernel function, minimizes an energy functional based on local gray information, and can process images with non-uniform gray levels to a certain extent. But the degree of unevenness of the image gradation can only be slowly and smoothly varied. Zhang et al developed this model in [3], and proposed an LIF (local image shaping) model, which was segmented by minimizing the difference between the original image and the image obtained by 'RSF'. The main idea is to fit the original image with a 'RSF' image. Sandberg et al [4] propose to incorporate texture information into the active contour model to deal with the problem of uneven image gray scale. They chose Gabor filters to obtain the texture of the image. Kim et al [5] propose an active contour model based on significant boundary energy using significant boundaries in the image as a boundary indicative function in the active contour model. Zhang et al [6] propose a Local Statistical Active Contour Model (LSACM) for segmenting gray-scale heterogeneous images. Qi et al [7] propose an anisotropic data item that distinguishes between inside and outside regions based on local gray scale information along the contour direction. And a gradient down-flow regularization term based on the structure tensor is proposed. Recently, Zhi, Shen [8] proposed a level set-based approach that involved using saliency information and color intensity as the region-external energy to excite the evolution of the level set, but this saliency information seems not to be powerful enough to handle images of significantly inhomogeneous intensity. Wang, Chang et al [9] propose a hybrid image fitting energy segmentation method based on two different local fitting combinations. The methods in the above prior documents have a certain processing capability for images with non-uniform gray levels, but the above models also have difficulty in obtaining satisfactory segmentation results for images with very non-uniform target or background gray levels.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the image segmentation method based on regional gray scale heterogeneous energy provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
and S10, inputting the original image to obtain the number of pixel points and the gray value of the gray image.
The original image may be a color image or a grayscale image, and if the original image is a color image, the MATLAB can be directly converted into a grayscale image from the band program rgb2 gray. The image is usually regarded as a matrix in the processing process (a gray image is an m × n × 1 matrix, and a color image is an m × n × 3 matrix), and in the process of reading the image by the MATLAB, the pixel value of each pixel point of the image is automatically dispersed into the value of the corresponding point in the matrix, and the number of the pixel points is the size of the matrix.
And S20, calculating a gray heterogeneous index d and a gray heterogeneous factor F (x) of the image based on the number of the pixels and the gray value of the gray image to obtain a gray heterogeneous factor image corresponding to the initial image.
One gray image can be seen as a function I: omega → R, and any pixel point x ═ xh,xv) The gray value is given as i (x). For any pixel point x, N in the imagek(x) Representing neighbors centred on the x pointDomain:
Nk(x)={y∈Ω:|xh-yh|≤k,|xv-yv|≤k}
k denotes the size of the neighborhood.
The gray level heterogeneous index d provided by the invention is defined as:
wherein
Where Ω represents the set of pixels in the image, | Ω | represents the number of pixels in the image, mean (I (N)k(x) ) is a neighborhood N)k(x) The mean value of the gray levels of the middle pixels. The gray level heterogeneity index d measures the mean square difference of the gray levels of the whole image, so that d can be used as an index of image gray level heterogeneity.
To check the robustness of the indicator, the square root of d is calculated by placing a stripe image (target is stripe and background is white) at different angles in the embodiment shown in fig. 2. This value was found to vary more slowly with the angle of the fringes in the image. This shows that using d as a measure of image gray level heterogeneity is very robust.
Further, the regional gray scale heterogeneity factor f (x) in step S20 is defined as follows:
wherein
From the definition of F (x), F (x) epsilon [0,1]N can be quantitatively characterized by F (x)k(x) Gray scale non-uniformity. For a fixed size Nk(x) F (x) the larger the gray value and phase of x pointThe gray values of the adjacent pixel points are highly inconsistent, and vice versa.
After the regional gray scale heterogeneous factor f (x) is defined, the regional gray scale heterogeneous factor of each point of an image can form a new image, and the new image is called a gray scale heterogeneous factor image.
As shown in fig. 3, the region heterogeneity factor defined in the present invention is displayed in the form of an image. Two cases of area gray scale heterogeneity factors are shown. (1) The first line is an image of leopard, in which the texture of the leopard body is rich, but the texture of the background is single. Therefore, in the gray scale heterogeneous factor image, the value of the regional gray scale heterogeneous factor is higher due to uneven gray scale among the regional regions with rich leopard body textures, namely the brighter part in the image. This is the case when the target is heterogeneous and the background is more homogeneous. (2) The second row is an image of a starfish, the gray level of part of the starfish changes smoothly, but the seabed part of the background has abundant textures and very uneven gray level. Therefore, in the grayscale heterogeneous factor image, the starfish portion is darker and the background portion is lighter. This is the case when the target gray is homogeneous and the background gray is heterogeneous.
S30, constructing an active contour model based on regional gray scale heterogeneous energy, wherein the total energy functional of the model comprises a regional gray scale heterogeneous energy universal function term, an edge energy term and a local region fitting term.

whereinImage representing regional gray scale difference factor, H(φ) is the regularization of the Heaviside function, and the specific expression is as follows:
phi is a level set function, phi is iteratively updated according to an update function hereinafter, and a final segmentation contour is obtained by setting phi to 0.
P1And P2The average gray level heterogeneous factors inside and outside the contour C respectively have the following specific expressions:
in addition, the regional gray level heterogeneous factor can also give an effective way of depicting the edge. In order to reduce the influence of a nearby clutter region and maintain an important image structure, the method denoises an original image (a gray image or an image of a color image after passing through rgb2 gray) by using a Perona-Malik model, and then calculates a gray heterogeneous factor of the denoised image. The edge energy in the present invention is defined as:
wherein FPMAnd (p) representing the grayscale heterogeneity factor of the denoised image Perona-Malik. On the other hand, due to the complexity of the image, it is considered to use the local energy functional to fuse the gray information of the original image while considering the regional gray heterogeneity:
where w (x) is a neighborhood centered at x, the neighborhood being of variable size and selectable by the user from different images, 5x5, 3x3, 7x 7. K is a Gauss kernel, t ═ m (x), s (x) is a simple texture descriptor, which is used to describe the texture information in the original image. K has the following form:
m (x), s (x) are the mean and variance of the image gray scale. t is tinAnd toutTexture descriptor consisting of mean and variance of image gray levels inside and outside a contour, wherein
Combining the three energy functional functions together to obtain:
E=λ1Erh+λ2Elocal+λ3Eedge+νLength(C)
λ1,λ2and λ3Is the weight of three energies, three normal numbers. Length (C) represents the length constraint regularization term of the contour C, and ν represents the weight of the length constraint regularization term, for determining the magnitude of the length constraint acting in the energy functional minimization process. The larger v the stronger the regular constraint, the smoother the contour, and vice versa.
Embedding C into a level set function, namely C is a zero level set of a function phi, so as to obtain the total energy functional of the invention:
and S40, solving the total energy functional to obtain the segmentation result of the image.
For the equation (#) in step S30, a gradient descent method is used to obtain a first order variation about Φ, and an update function of Φ is obtained as:
wherein(phi (x) is a function H(φ (x)) is a derivative, the specific expression being:
and (4) carrying out active contour evolution on the (×) mode to obtain a target boundary. The following iterative formula is used:
where l and Δ t denote the number of iterations and the time step, F (φ), respectivelyl(x) And R (phi)l(x) Numerical approximations of the first three terms and the last term on the right side of the (×) respectively.
The target boundary is continuously approximated by continuously iterating phi through the above equation. After a certain number of iterations or after an iteration termination condition (i.e. | phi) is reachedk+1-φk|<,φkI.e., the level set function iterates k times) the level set function reaches the target boundary.
The following two specific examples are provided to demonstrate the effects of the present invention.

Through a series of experiments, lambda is found1∈[3,14],λ3∈[0.8,3],ν∈[0.5,1.3]The time division effect is good. All color images are converted into grayscale images and are uniformly resized to 180 x 240.
