实验三图像分割与边缘检测

1、实验三 图像分割与边缘检测上课老师:赵欢喜 实验指导:吴磊 一实验目的1. 理解图像分割的基本概念；2. 理解图像边缘提取的基本概念；3. 掌握进行边缘提取的基本方法；4. 掌握用阈值法进行图像分割的基本方法。二实验基本原理图象边缘检测图像理解是图像处理的一个重要分支，研究为完成某一任务需要从图像中提取哪些有用的信息，以及如何利用这些信息解释图像。边缘检测技术对于处理数字图像非常重要，因为边缘是所要提取目标和背景的分界线，提取出边缘才能将目标和背景区分开来。在图像中，边界表明一个特征区域的终结和另一个特征区域的开始，边界所分开区域的内部特征或属性是一致的，而不同的区域内部的特征或属性是不同的，

2、边缘检测正是利用物体和背景在某种图像特性上的差异来实现的，这些差异包括灰度，颜色或者纹理特征。边缘检测实际上就是检测图像特征发生变化的位置。由于噪声和模糊的存在，检测到的边界可能会变宽或在某些点处发生间断，因此，边界检测包括两个基本内容：首先抽取出反映灰度变化的边缘点，然后剔除某些边界点或填补边界间断点，并将这些边缘连接成完整的线。边缘检测的方法大多数是基于方向导数掩模求卷积的方法。导数算子具有突出灰度变化的作用，对图像运用导数算子，灰度变化较大的点处算得的值比较高，因此可将这些导数值作为相应点的边界强度，通过设置门限的方法，提取边界点集。一阶导数与是最简单的导数算子，它们分别求出了灰度在x和

3、y方向上的变化率，而方向上的灰度变化率可以用相应公式进行计算;对于数字图像，应该采用差分运算代替求导。一幅数字图像的一阶导数是基于各种二维梯度的近似值。图像f(x,y)在位置(x,y)的梯度定义为下列向量： (3-4)在边缘检测中，一般用这个向量的大小，用表示 (3-5)函数f在某点的方向导数取得最大值的方向是，方向导数的最大值是称为梯度模。利用梯度模算子来检测边缘是一种很好的方法，它不仅具有位移不变性，还具有各向同性。为了运算简便，实际中采用梯度模的近似形式。 或者 传统的边缘检测算法通过梯度算子来实现的，在求边缘的梯度时，需要对每个象素位置计算。在实际中常用小区域模板卷积来近似快速计算，简

4、单有效，梯度算子一般采用因此应用很广泛。模板是N*N的权值方阵，经典的梯度算子模板有：Sobel模板、Prewitt模板、Roberts模板、Laplacian模板等。具体模板请见书。拉普拉斯高斯（LoG）算法是一种二阶边缘检测方法。它通过寻找图像灰度值中二阶微分中的过零点（Zero Crossing）来检测边缘点。其原理为，灰度级变形成的边缘经过微风算子形成一个单峰函数，峰值位置对应边缘点；对单峰函数进行微分，则峰值处的微分值为0，峰值两侧符号相反，而原先的极值点对应二阶微分中的过零点，通过检测过零点即可将图像的边缘提取出来。(a)原图 (b)边缘检测后的图 (c) 阈值处理后的图图3-1

5、检测具有-45度边缘的图例1点检测原理：常数灰阶区域中的某孤立点对某种模板的响应绝对值肯定是最强烈的。最常用的模板有：Matlab 实现方法：g = abs(imfilter(double(f),w) >= T; where w is a appropriate point detection mask which satisfies the above condition.实例：the detection of isolated bright point in the dark gray area of the northeast quadrant.(image size: 675*6

8、阶导数值大于某个事先阈值标准的位置；(2) 找出图像二阶导数的跨零点。IPT 工具箱函数edge 提供了几种基于上面两种标准的估计器：其语法为：g, t = edge(f, method, parameters);这里 method 参数包括这几种类型的边缘检测子：Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian of a Gaussian (LoG), Zero crossings and Canny，前三种的模板见下图： 另一个强有力的边缘检测器：Canny Edge Detector (Canny 1986)，其算法的基本步骤如下：(1) First, the ima

Any of the first three techniques can be used to computer the Gx and Gy. An edge point is defined to be a

10、 point whose strength is locally maximum in the direction of the gradient.(3) The edge points give rise to ridges in the gradient magnitude image. The algorithm then tracks along the top of these ridges and sets to zero all pixels that are not actually on the ridge top so as to give a thin line, a p

11、rocess known as nonmaximal suppression. The ridge pixels are the thresholded using thresholds, T1 and T2, with T1 < T2. Ridge pixels with values greater than T2 are said to be “strong” edge pixels and pixels between T1 and T2 “weak” edge pixels.(4) Finally, the algorithm performs edge linking by

12、incorporating the weak pixels that are 8-connected to strong pixels.注意：Edge function does not compute edges at ±450. To compute edges we need to specify the mask and use imfilter. 4Hough变换In practice, the resulting pixels produced by the methods discussed in the previous sections seldom charact

16、第二类方法主要是把图像的某个子区域与某预定义的标准进行比较，以二者之间的相似性指标为指导来划分图像区域：如阈值化技术、面向区域的方法、形态学分水岭分割算法等。1.双峰法先给出原图的直方图，再定出阈值(门限)T，一般取两个峰值间的谷值。2.P参数法这种方法用于目标所占图像面积已知的情况。设目标在最简单图像f(i , j) 中所占的面积s0与图像面积s之比为P = s0/ s，则背景所占面积比为1-P = (s - s0) / s。一般来说，低灰度值为背景，高灰度值为目标。如果统计图像f(i , j)灰度值不大于某一灰度t的像元数和图像总像元数之比为1-p时，则以t为阈值。3自适应全局阈值（单阈值

17、）算法步骤如下：1、 初始化阈值T (一般为原图像所有像素平均值)。2、 用T分割图像成两个集合：G1 和G2，其中G1包含所有灰度值小于T的像素，G2包含所有灰度值大于T的像素。3、 计算G1中像素的平均值m1及G2中像素的平均值m2。4、 计算新的阈值：T （m1m2）/2 。5、 如果新阈值跟原阈值之间的差值小于一个预先设定的范围，停止循环，否则继续24步。全局单阈值分割只适用于很少的图像。对一般图像采用局部阈值法或多阈值法会得到更好的效果4. 最大类间方差法 (OTSU)设有M-1个阈值：0k1k2KM-1L-1。将图像分割成M个灰度值的类Cj， （Cjkj-1+1, , kj；j=1

18、, 2, , M ; k0=0, kM=L），则各类Cj的发生概率j和平均值j为 (3-1) (3-2)式中, (0)=0，(0)=0。 由此可得各类的类间方差为 (3-3)将使上式的2值为最大的阈值组(k1, k2， , kM1)， 作为M值化的最佳阈值组。若取M为2，即分割成2类，则可用上述方法求出二值化的阈值。三实验提示1.MATLAB的图像处理工具箱中提供的edge函数可以实现检测边缘的功能，其语法格式如下：BW = edge (I,sobel)BW = edge (I,sobel, thresh,direction)BW = edge (I, Roberts)BW = edge (I

34、 step in using Hough transform for line detection and linking. However, finding a meaningful set of distinct peaks in a Hough transform can be challenging. Because of the quantization in space of the digital image and in parameter space of the Hough transform, as well as the fact that edges in typic

35、al images are not perfectly straight, Hough transform peaks tend to lie in more than one Hough transform cell. One strategy to overcome this problem is following:(1) find the HT cell containing the highest value and record its location;(2) suppress (set to zero) HT cells in the immediate neighborhoo
