摘要:
The Mumford-Shah model is a classical segmentation model, but its objective function is non-convex. The smoothing and thresholding (SaT) approach is a convex variant of the Mumford-Shah model, which seeks a smoothed approximation solution of the Mumford-Shah model. The idea of SaT is to separate the segmentation into two stages: a convex energy function is first minimized to obtain a smoothed image and then a thresholding technique is applied to segment the smoothed image. The energy function consists of three weighted terms and the weights are called the regularization parameters. It is important to select the appropriate regularization parameters to obtain a good segmentation result. Traditionally, the regularization parameters are usually chosen by trial-and-error, which is a very time-consuming procedure and is not practical in real applications.
In this talk, we apply Bayesian inference approach to infer the regularization parameters and estimate the smoothed image. We analyze the convex variant Mumford-Shah variational model from the statistical perspective and then construct a hierarchical Bayesian model. Mean field variational family is used to approximate the posterior distribution. The variational density of the smoothed image is assumed to have Gaussian density, and the hyperparameters are assumed to have the Gamma variational densities. All the parameters in the Gaussian density and Gamma densities are iteratively updated, hence the proposed method is parameter-free.
Experimental results show that the proposed approach can obtain good segmentation results. Although the proposed approach contains an inference step to estimate the regularization parameters, it requires less CPU running times to obtain the smoothed image comparing to previous methods.
