Abstract
Existing methods for image segmentation using diffusion can't preserve contour information, or noises with high gradients become more salient as the umber of times of the diffusion increases, resulting in over-segmentation when applied to watershed. This thesis proposes a method for image segmentation by applying morphology operation together with robust anisotropic diffusion. For an input image, transformed into LUV color space, closing by reconstruction and anisotropic diffusion are applied to obtain a simplified image which preserves contour information with noises removed. With gradients computed from this simplifed images, watershed algorithm is applied. Experiments show that color images are segmented very effectively without over-segmentation.
