Variational level set image segmentation model coupled with kernel distance function. (June 2020) - Badshah, Noor
One of the crucial challenges in the area of image segmentation is intensity inhomogeneity. For most of the region-based models, it is not easy to completely segment images having severe intensity inhomogeneity and complex structure, as they rely on intensity distributions. In this work, we proposed a firsthand hybrid model by blending kernel and Euclidean distance metrics. Experimental results on some real and synthetic images suggest that our proposed model is better than models of Chan and Vese, Wu and He, and Salah et al.
