This study introduces a novel local weak form geometric deformable model (GDM) for robust image segmentation. The method effectively handles noisy and broken edges by integrating local information, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Image Processing
  • Computational Geometry

Background:

  • Traditional geometric deformable models (GDMs) struggle with noisy or discontinuous edges.
  • Existing methods often require significant computational resources or lack robustness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust and computationally efficient image segmentation method.
  • To address limitations of current GDMs in handling weak or broken edges.

Main Methods:

  • A local weak form formulation for the geometric deformable model (GDM) was proposed.
  • Partial differential equations (PDEs) were solved on an adaptively sampled unstructured point cloud.
  • Neighboring information and image-derived forces were integrated within a local influence domain.

Main Results:

  • The proposed GDM achieved robust segmentation for noisy and broken edges.
  • The method demonstrated improved accuracy and reduced computational cost.
  • Experimental results on synthetic and real images confirmed superior performance.

Conclusions:

  • The local weak form GDM effectively unifies geometric and parametric snake strengths.
  • The model allows stable boundary detection even with weak or discontinuous edges.
  • It maintains the ability to handle topological changes during segmentation.
