DETECTION OF MULTIPLE OVERLAPPING STRING-SHAPED OBJECTS FROM REAL IMAGES

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This study presents an image segmentation method for string-shaped objects which may overlap each other in a single image. In this situation, crossing parts could mislead the extensions of each object, and arbitrary curves often include pixels and/or image patches with similar and indistinguishable features from different objects. In order to cope with these difficulties, we propose a spectral clustering-based segmentation method which incorporates a new measure of similarity between pixels on a face of a single picture. To calculate the similarity, we combine two different criteria: similarity of directional features and the distance between pixel positions on an image. The proposed method incorporating a crossing points processing provided the good segmentation capability for test images including a real image.
