This study introduces an unsupervised color image segmentation algorithm using edge detection in the CIE L*a*b* color space. The novel method effectively clusters pixels and merges regions for improved image analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Image segmentation is crucial for computer vision tasks.
  • Existing methods often require supervision or lack robustness in color spaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel unsupervised color image segmentation algorithm.
  • To leverage edge information within the CIE L*a*b* color space for enhanced segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes color gradient detection to identify and cluster edge-free pixels.
  • Dynamically generates clusters for regions with high gradient densities.
  • Incorporates texture modeling via color quantization and local entropy computation.
  • Employs a multiresolution merging procedure based on color, texture, and region growth maps.
