Numerical algorithm for image segmentation based on variational method
Jian Liu · Infrared and Laser Engineering · 2002
A mathematical model for image segmentation is presented. The link between Mumford-Shah's functional and image segmentation is discussed. As there is not an effective numerical method to solve this problem, a feasible algorithm for the variational problem in 1D is developed and then it is extended to 2D (image). A few experimental results proved the efficiency for the case of 1D and 2D.
