Image Segmentation Improvement by Selective Application Structuring Element of Mathematical Morphology

수리 형태학의 선택적 구조요소 적용에 의한 영상 분할의 성능 개선

Video segmentation is an essential part in region-based video coding and any other fields of the video processing. Among lots of methods proposed so far, the watershed method in which the region growing is performed for the gradient image can produce well-partitioned regions globally without any influence on local noise and extracts accurate boundaries. But, it generates a great number of small regions, which we call over segmentation problem. Therefore we proposes image segmentation improvement by selective application structuring element of mathematical morphology.
