Graph Laplacian for spectral clustering and seeded image segmentation / Estudo do Laplaciano do grafo para o problema de clusterização espectral e segmentação interativa de imagens

Casaca, Wallace Correa de Oliveira 05 December 2014 (has links)
Image segmentation is an essential tool to enhance the ability of computer systems to efficiently perform elementary cognitive tasks such as detection, recognition and tracking. In this thesis we concentrate on the investigation of two fundamental topics in the context of image segmentation: spectral clustering and seeded image segmentation. We introduce two new algorithms for those topics that, in summary, rely on Laplacian-based operators, spectral graph theory, and minimization of energy functionals. The effectiveness of both segmentation algorithms is verified by visually evaluating the resulting partitions against state-of-the-art methods as well as through a variety of quantitative measures typically employed as benchmark by the image segmentation community. Our spectral-based segmentation algorithm combines image decomposition, similarity metrics, and spectral graph theory into a concise and powerful framework. An image decomposition is performed to split the input image into texture and cartoon components. Then, an affinity graph is generated and weights are assigned to the edges of the graph according to a gradient-based inner-product function. From the eigenstructure of the affinity graph, the image is partitioned through the spectral cut of the underlying graph. Moreover, the image partitioning can be improved by changing the graph weights by sketching interactively. Visual and numerical evaluation were conducted against representative spectral-based segmentation techniques using boundary and partition quality measures in the well-known BSDS dataset. Unlike most existing seed-based methods that rely on complex mathematical formulations that typically do not guarantee unique solution for the segmentation problem while still being prone to be trapped in local minima, our segmentation approach is mathematically simple to formulate, easy-to-implement, and it guarantees to produce a unique solution. Moreover, the formulation holds an anisotropic behavior, that is, pixels sharing similar attributes are preserved closer to each other while big discontinuities are naturally imposed on the boundary between image regions, thus ensuring better fitting on object boundaries. We show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms competing techniques both quantitatively as well as qualitatively, using the classical GrabCut dataset from Microsoft as a benchmark. While most of this research concentrates on the particular problem of segmenting an image, we also develop two new techniques to address the problem of image inpainting and photo colorization. Both methods couple the developed segmentation tools with other computer vision approaches in order to operate properly. / Segmentar uma image é visto nos dias de hoje como uma prerrogativa para melhorar a capacidade de sistemas de computador para realizar tarefas complexas de natureza cognitiva tais como detecção de objetos, reconhecimento de padrões e monitoramento de alvos. Esta pesquisa de doutorado visa estudar dois temas de fundamental importância no contexto de segmentação de imagens: clusterização espectral e segmentação interativa de imagens. Foram propostos dois novos algoritmos de segmentação dentro das linhas supracitadas, os quais se baseiam em operadores do Laplaciano, teoria espectral de grafos e na minimização de funcionais de energia. A eficácia de ambos os algoritmos pode ser constatada através de avaliações visuais das segmentações originadas, como também através de medidas quantitativas computadas com base nos resultados obtidos por técnicas do estado-da-arte em segmentação de imagens. Nosso primeiro algoritmo de segmentação, o qual ´e baseado na teoria espectral de grafos, combina técnicas de decomposição de imagens e medidas de similaridade em grafos em uma única e robusta ferramenta computacional. Primeiramente, um método de decomposição de imagens é aplicado para dividir a imagem alvo em duas componentes: textura e cartoon. Em seguida, um grafo de afinidade é gerado e pesos são atribuídos às suas arestas de acordo com uma função escalar proveniente de um operador de produto interno. Com base no grafo de afinidade, a imagem é então subdividida por meio do processo de corte espectral. Além disso, o resultado da segmentação pode ser refinado de forma interativa, mudando-se, desta forma, os pesos do grafo base. Experimentos visuais e numéricos foram conduzidos tomando-se por base métodos representativos do estado-da-arte e a clássica base de dados BSDS a fim de averiguar a eficiência da metodologia proposta.

Além disso, o método proposto possui um comportamento anisotrópico, ou seja, pixels semelhantes são preservados mais próximos uns dos outros enquanto descontinuidades bruscas são impostas entre regiões da imagem onde as bordas são mais salientes. Como no caso anterior, foram realizadas diversas avaliações qualitativas e quantitativas envolvendo nossa técnica e métodos do estado-da-arte, tomando-se como referência a base de dados GrabCut da Microsoft.

Méthodes variationnelles pour la colorisation d’images, de vidéos, et la correction des couleurs / Variational methods for image and video colorization and color correction

Pierre, Fabien 23 November 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse traite de problèmes liés à la couleur. En particulier, on s’intéresse à des problématiques communes à la colorisation d’images, de vidéos et au rehaussement de contraste. Si on considère qu’une image est composée de deux informations complémentaires, une achromatique (sans couleur) et l’autre chromatique (en couleur), les applications étudiées consistent à traiter une de ces deux informations en préservant sa complémentaire. En colorisation, la difficulté est de calculer une image couleur en imposant son niveau de gris. Le rehaussement de contraste vise à modifier l’intensité d’une image en préservant sa teinte. Ces problématiques communes nous ont conduits à étudier formellement la géométrie de l’espace RGB. On a démontré que les espaces couleur classiques de la littérature pour résoudre ces types de problème conduisent à des erreurs. Un algorithme, appelé spécification luminance-teinte, qui calcule une couleur ayant une teinte et une luminance données est décrit dans cette thèse. L’extension de cette méthode à un cadre variationnel a été proposée. Ce modèle a été utilisé avec succès pour rehausser les images couleur, en utilisant des hypothèses connues sur le système visuel humain. Les méthodes de l’état-de-l’art pour la colorisation d’images se divisent en deux catégories. La première catégorie regroupe celles qui diffusent des points de couleurs posés par l’utilisateur pour obtenir une image colorisée (colorisation manuelle). La seconde est constituée de celles qui utilisent une image couleur de référence ou une base d’images couleur et transfèrent les couleurs de la référence sur l’image en niveaux de gris (colorisation basée exemple). Les deux types de méthodes ont leurs avantages et inconvénients. Dans cette thèse, on propose un modèle variationnel pour la colorisation basée exemple. Celui-ci est étendu en une méthode unifiant la colorisation manuelle et basée exemple. Enfin, nous décrivons des modèles variationnels qui colorisent des vidéos tout en permettent une interaction avec l’utilisateur. / This thesis deals with problems related to color. In particular, we are interested inproblems which arise in image and video colorization and contrast enhancement. When considering color images composed of two complementary information, oneachromatic (without color) and the other chromatic (in color), the applications studied in this thesis are based on the processing one of these information while preserving its complement. In colorization, the challenge is to compute a color image while constraining its gray-scale channel. Contrast enhancement aims to modify the intensity channel of an image while preserving its hue.These joined problems require to formally study the RGB space geometry. In this work, it has been shown that the classical color spaces of the literature designed to solve these classes of problems lead to errors. An novel algorithm, called luminance-hue specification, which computes a color with a given hue and luminance is described in this thesis. The extension of this method to a variational framework has been proposed. This model has been used successfully to enhance color images, using well-known assumptions about the human visual system. The state-of-the-art methods for image colorization fall into two categories. The first category includes those that diffuse color scribbles drawn by the user (manual colorization). The second consists of those that benefits from a reference color image or a base of reference images to transfer the colors from the reference to the grayscale image (exemplar-based colorization). Both approach have their advantages and drawbacks. In this thesis, we design a variational model for exemplar-based colorization which is extended to a method unifying the manual colorization and the exemplar-based one. Finally, we describe two variational models to colorize videos in interaction with the user.

Modifikace obrazu pomocí neuronových sítí / Neural Network Based Image Modifications

Maslowski, Petr January 2021 (has links)
This thesis deals with image colorization and image super-resolution using neural networks. It briefly explains neural networks principles and summarizes current approaches in this domain. It also describes the design, implementation and training of various neural network architectures. The best implemented architecture can colorize images, in particular, works well with outdoor areas. The architecture for image super-resolution with residual blocks that was trained with a perceptual loss function performs a double increase in image resolution (4x more pixels in total). Part of this thesis is also an implementation of a web application that uses trained models for image modification.
