Abstract

In this paper, the Mumford-Shah (MS) model and its variations are studied for image segmentation. It is found that using the piecewise constant approximation, we cannot detect edges with low contrast. Therefore other terms, such as gradient and Laplacian, are included in the models. To simplify the problem, the gradient of the original image is used in the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi (ROF) like model. It is found that this approximation is better than the piecewise constant approximation for some images since it can detect the low contrast edges of objects. Linear approximation is also used for both MS and ROF like models. It, is found that the linear approximation results are comparable with the results of the models using gradient and Laplacian terms.
