Title
Self-organizing neural networks for image segmentation based on multiphase active contour
Abstract
Image segmentation is a process of segregating foreground object from background object in an image. This paper proposes a method to perform image segmentation for the color and textured images with a two-step approach. In the first step, self-organizing neurons based on neural networks are used for clustering the input image, and in the second step, multiphase active contour model is used to get various segments of an image. The contours are initialized in the active contour model with the help of the self-organizing maps obtained as a result of first step. From the results, it is inferred that the proposed method provides better segmentation result for all types of images.
