A Nash-game approach to joint image restoration and segmentation

Abstract

International audienceWe propose a game theory approach to simultaneously restore and segment noisy images. We define two players: one is restoration, with the image intensity as strategy, and the other is segmentation with contours as strategy. Cost functions are the classical relevant ones for restoration and segmentation, respectively. The two players play a static game with complete information, and we consider as solution to the game the so-called Nash Equilibrium. For the computation of this equilibrium we present an iterative method with relaxation. The results of numerical experiments performed on some real images show the relevance and efficiency of the proposed algorithm

SAR image restoration and change detection based on game theory

“…In order to generate the mathematical formulation of the denoising issue, we firstly define an image in a mathematical approach. A mathematical image [8] is a realvalued function which assigns to any point ,…”

Game Theory based Framework for Synthetic Aperture Radar Image De-noising and Change Detection

“…We consider that there are two objective function on behalf of the two players in the game theory: 1  and 2  defined over the same space of control variables defined as X . We can find out the detailed discussions and theoretical analysis of X in the literature [18].…”

A Novel Remote Sensing Image Change Detection Algorithm based on Game Theory Analysis and Hierarchical Fuzzy Clustering

“…Referring to the theoretical background, the game is made up of two objective functions denoted as 1 δ and 2 δ . The control variables could be defined as M according to theoretical derivation in [4]. The players in the game are 'segmentation' and 'restoration' and the restoration process could take in control of the intensity Φ , segmentation operation could influence the discontinuity set defined as χ .…”

“…The core issue of evolutionary game analysis is to determine its research methods or framework, namely game learning and strategy adjustment mode, or mechanisms. How to construct the dynamic mechanism to simulate the evolution game based on the specific situation in the game of learning and decision-making process is being popularly studied by domestic and foreign scholars [4].…”
