Segmentation ultra-rapide et non supervisée d’images fortement bruitées

Accueil › L’Institut › Segmentation ultra-rapide et non supervisée d’images fortement bruitées


La segmentation d’image constitue un des principaux verrous en traitement d’image, en particulier dans le cas d’images fortement bruitées et lorsque l’on cherche à aboutir à des techniques rapides et non supervisées.

Nous avons développé depuis de nombreuses années différents algorithmes de segmentation et de partition d’image en zones homogènes par contours et grilles actifs polygonaux, fondés sur la minimisation de la complexité stochastique (ou MDL pour « Minimum Description Length »).

Ces techniques, rapides et ne nécessitant pas de paramètre à régler dans le critère à optimiser ont été plus particulièrement appliquées aux images bruitées en présence de speckle (SAR, PolInSAR).
