This study introduces a new unsupervised multiphase image segmentation model that automatically determines the optimal number of phases. The model uses a novel regularization term for robust and stable image segmentation results.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Image Processing
  • Mathematical Modeling

Background:

  • Variational models have been a cornerstone of image segmentation since the Mumford-Shah functional.
  • Existing methods often require pre-defined phase numbers, limiting their adaptability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an unsupervised multiphase image segmentation model.
  • To introduce a novel regularization term that enables automatic phase number selection.
  • To demonstrate the robustness and stability of the proposed segmentation approach.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a new variational functional for multiphase image segmentation.
  • Incorporated a phase scale measure as a regularization term.
  • Developed a fast, brute-force numerical algorithm for model implementation.
