Due to the existence of speckle noise and multipath effect, the pixel values change drastically, causing the large intensity differences in pixels of building areas. Moreover, the geometric structure of buildings can cause strong scattering spots, which brings difficulties to the segmentation and extraction of buildings. To solve of these problems, this paper presents a coherence-coefficient-based Markov random field (CCMRF) approach for building segmentation from high-resolution SAR images. The method introduces the coherence coefficient of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) into the neighborhood energy based on traditional Markov random field (MRF), which makes interferometric and spatial contextual information more fully used in SAR image segmentation. According to the Hammersley-Clifford theorem, the problem of maximum a posteriori (MAP) for image segmentation is transformed into the solution of minimizing the sum of likelihood energy and neighborhood energy. Finally, the iterative condition model (ICM) is used to find the optimal solution. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can segment SAR building effectively and obtain more accurate results than the traditional MRF method and K-means clustering.展开更多

This paper first defined algorithm model and derived the core factors affecting the performance of the algorithm, and then, the solving of this algorithm was obtained by the use of Belief Propagation (BP) algorithm and Iterated Conditional Modes (ICM) algorithm. Finally, experiments indicate that this algorithm for the cloud image detection has higher average accuracy rate which is about 98.76% and the average result can also reach 96.92% for different type of image noise.展开更多

MRF is used to obtain an initial estimate of x regions in the image under process where in MRF model, gray level x , at pixel location i , in an image X , depends on the gray levels of neighboring pixels. The process needs an initial segmented result. An initial segmentation is got based on K means clustering technique and the minimum distance, then the region process in modeled by MRF to obtain an image contains different intensity regions. Starting from this we calculate the gradient values of that image and then employ a watershed technique. When using MRF method it obtains an image that has different intensity regions and has all the edge and region information, then it improves the segmentation result by superimpose closed and an accurate boundary of each region using watershed algorithm. After all pixels of the segmented regions have been processed, a map of primitive region with edges is generated. Finally, a merge process based on averaged mean values is employed. The final segmentation and edge detection result is one closed boundary per actual region in the image.展开更多
