The invention discloses an
infrared image segmentation method based on a local area self-organizing
mapping algorithm, and the method comprises the steps: firstly, completing the extraction of a multi-feature
bias field through moving a local sliding window before the iteration evolution of a
level set based on the local area self-organizing
mapping algorithm, and constructing a multi-feature local data driving item under the frame of a multiplicative
bias field model; secondly, calculating a multi-feature global data driving item, and constructing a multi-feature mixed data driving item through a self-
adaptive weighting function; then, after an adaptive regularization function is used for regularizing an energy value domain of a multi-feature mixed data driving item, an initial
level set is driven to carry out iterative evolution; then, in the
iteration process of the
level set, a
hyperbolic tangent function is used for keeping the symbol rule feature with the positive exterior and the negative interior and the distance rule feature with the modulus value being 1 when the level set is iteratively evolved; meanwhile, through a mean filtering template,
smoothing processing is continuously carried out on the level set, and redundant contour lines at non-boundaries are eliminated. And finally, continuously iteratively solving the minimum value of the energy function through a
gradient descent method until the convergence criterion of the level set or the maximum number of iterations is reached, and at the moment, outputting the position of the zero level set to complete
image segmentation. The local region self-organizing
mapping algorithm provided by the invention can accurately mine the contour of the foreground from the
infrared image, and has relatively high segmentation speed and precision.
