A variational model with hybrid images data fitting energies for segmentation of images with intensity inhomogeneity

作者:

Highlights:

• We model image segmentation problem using product and difference images.

• The convex formulation of the model is also presented.

• The proposed model takes care of the minute details and inhomogeneity in an image.

• This model is compared with LCV and FGM of the active contour model.

• The competing energies are qualitatively tested by using Jaccord Similarity Index.
