Abstract:This study presents a new idea for unsupervised texture segmentation from the angle of bionics. According to this idea, a novel approach called “side-by-side superposition unsupervised texture segmentation (SSUTS)” is designed. When doing texture segmentation in this paper, the traditional time–frequency analysis-based methods are improved by introducing the analytic phase theory and the Bi-dimensional Empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) theory. Experiments prove that the SSUTS approach is effective in texture… Show more
A simple algorithm for measuring the similarity between multi-column histograms is presented. The proposed algorithm is intended for texture segmentation of images using histograms as texture features. The purpose of developing such a specialized algorithm is to more accurately determine the boundaries between neighboring texture segments. The algorithm is specially designed so that to express the similarity value as a percentage. The main peculiarity of the proposed algorithm is that when calculating the similarity value, it considers not only the corresponding histogram columns but also takes into account their neighboring components. Due to this, the algorithm more adequately evaluates the similarity of histograms. The proposed algorithm was implemented as a computer program as an integral part of the image segmentation model. The efficiency of the histogram comparison algorithm is indirectly confirmed by the texture segmentation results of the image segmentation model in image processing experiments.
