Scale Space and Anisotropic Diffusion
Scale Space and Anisotropic Diffusion
With linear low pass filtering and isotropic diffusion we let the pixel
values to be mixed with across the edges, so the images become
blurred. So, it becomes inconvenient to detect the edges. So, the
concept of anisotropic diffusion comes. The main concept of this is
IT JUST ALLOWS THE PIXELS TO BE MIXED IN THE SAME
SIDE OF BOUNDARY. It is based on the logic of calculus of
variation which finds extreme values of integrals of a function.

SEGMENTATION
STEPS:
The Chan Vese method is inspired by the Mumford Shah model.
Mumford and Shah approximate the image by a
piecewise-smooth function as the solution of the minimization
problem.
The minimization problem requires minimizing over all set
boundaries . This is accomplished by
applying the level set technique introduced by Osher and Sethian .
Instead of manipulating boundaries
explicitly, it is represented as the zero-crossing of a level set
function.
Here the semi-implicit gradient descent for solving the Chan Vese
minimization as developed
in the original work is described. This is not the only way to solve
the problem.

INTERACTIVE SEGMENTATION
Some images are very much tough to segment as there is confusion
which part should be considered as background and which as
foreground. Here ,comes the concept of interactive segmentation.
Here, the user is allowed to tell which part of the image should be
considered as foreground and which as a background.

ACTIVE CONTOURS
The process of labelling the location in the image where the rate of
change is high is known as edge detection. From the gradient of the
image we get the info where there is major change in intensity in the
image. So, the gradient gives the local information. The goal of
active contour is to integrate those local measurement. Edge
integration is the process of combining local, perhaps sparse and non
contigious edges into meaningful long edge curve for segmentation.
There is relationship between local edge and active contours going to
compute it .
