Image Segmentation Based on a Modified Pulse-Coupled Neural Network
Based on the property of Human Vision System(HVS) that human eye's sensitivity to an image varies with different informative regions of the image
Pulse-Coupled Neural Network(PCNN) model is modified for image segmentation.The modified PCNN stimulated by an input image has pulse output with multiple pulse values rather than two
according to the local information rate of the input image.This results in segmentation of the image with respect to local information rate delivered by the image.Experiments on image segmentation with our method and image compression on the segmented images that the lower the information rate is
the higher the compression rate is
show much better performance in both compression rate and subjective perceptual quality of the reconstructed image compared to image segmentation with standard PCNN and image compression with an overall compression rate.
