Abstract

This paper presents a multi-region level set image segmentation method based on image energy separation model. The image feature is extracted by using the image energy decomposition method. We represent the regions by the level set functions with constraint. The coupled Partial Differential Equations (PDE) related to the minimization of the functional are considered through a dynamical scheme. A modified region competition factor is adopted to speed up the cure evolution functions, it also guarantees no vacuum and non-overlapping between the neighbor regions. Several experiments are conducted on both synthetic images and natural image. The results illustrate that the proposed multiregion segmentation method is fast and less sensitive to the initializations.
