摘要
En 中文
Image segmentation is a computer vision technique that involves dividing an image into distinct and meaningful regions or segments. The objective was to partition the image into areas that share similar visual characteristics. Noise and undesirable artifacts introduce inconsistencies and irregularities in image data. These inconsistencies severely affect the ability of most segmentation algorithms to distinguish between true image features, leading to less reliable and lower-quality results. Cellular Automata (CA) is a computational concept that consists of a grid of cells, each of which can be in a finite number of states. These cells evolve over discrete time steps based on a set of predefined rules that dictate how a cell's state changes according to its own state and the states of its neighboring cells. In this paper, a new segmentation approach based on the CA model was introduced. The proposed approach consisted of three phases. In the initial two phases of the process, the primary objective was to eliminate noise and undesirable artifacts that can interfere with the identification of regions exhibiting similar visual characteristics. To achieve this, a set of rules is designed to modify the state value of each cell or pixel based on the states of its neighboring elements. In the third phase, each element is assigned a state that is chosen from a set of predefined states. These states directly represent the final segmentation values for the corresponding elements. The proposed method was evaluated using different images, considering important quality indices. The experimental results indicated that the proposed approach produces better-segmented images in terms of quality and robustness.
