Embodiment 1

[0072] Such as figure 1 As shown, an improved image summing algorithm based on GrabCut includes the following steps:

[0073] Execute step 100, pre-segmentation of multi-scale watershed.

[0074] The watershed algorithm is a classic segmentation algorithm, which can not only preserve the edge of the original image well, but also ensure that the difference of each small area is small enough. However, due to quantization errors, object details, noise, etc., it is easy to cause over-segmentation.

[0075] In view of the shortcomings of over-segmentation and poor edge details, this paper uses the watershed algorithm based on multi-scale morphological gradient operators to preprocess the image. The traditional morphological gradient operator is shown in the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] in: and ⊙ represent expansion and erosion operations, respectively, and B is a structural element. The above formula is also called single-scale morphological gradient operator, and ...

Embodiment 2

[0104] Such as figure 2 Shown, the step of the improved GrabCut algorithm among the embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0105] Step 200 is executed to preprocess the image. Input the image I, perform the second watershed pre-segmentation for I, and use the color mean value of the obtained small area as the node of the pixel for subsequent processing.

[0106] Step 210 is executed to initialize the image.

[0107] Execute step 220 to perform iterative minimization.

[0108] Execute step 230, target output. Obtain a new a=0, a=1 pixel set, and output the image pixels with a=1 to achieve the foreground target output.

Embodiment 3

[0110] Such as image 3 As shown, the steps of initializing the image in Embodiment 2 are as follows:

[0111] Execute step 300, non-complete numbering, the user sets the background T B Transform the ternary graph T into a binary labeling problem. User initial interaction only needs to determine T B , leaving the foreground blank, ie T U Take the complement of the background, that is,

[0112] Execute step 310, for all background pixels, set their transparency a to 0, that is, a=0; for the unknown area T U , let a=1.

[0113] Execute step 320, for the two collections of a=0 and a=1, use the k-means clustering method to initialize the GMM of foreground and background, and obtain the GMM parameters (π k , u k , Σ k ) initial value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital image processing, in particular to an improved image segmentation method based on GrabCut. Background technique [0002] Graph cut algorithm is a research hotspot based on the Markov Random Field (MRF) energy minimization framework. The novelty of this theory is that it can combine various theoretical knowledge for global optimal solution. Graph cut algorithm has attracted the attention of many researchers because of its own advantages. In 2004, Rother et al. proposed the GrabCut algorithm based on Graphcut. The algorithm uses the incomplete marking method to mark the background area with a rectangular frame, establishes a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for the foreground and background color spaces, and replaces a minimum estimate with an iterative algorithm that can evolve in the process of GMM parameter learning and estimation. to minimize energy. The GrabCut algorithm is an improvement and ex...
