Two-stage image segmentation based on nonconvex ℓ2−ℓp approximation and thresholding

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new nonconvex l2−lp approximation of the Mumford–Shah model for image segmentation.

• Our model adopts a two-stage image segmentation strategy and we use a closed-form p-shrinkage operator to deal with the lp quasi-norm subproblem in the first stage.

• We utilize the K-means method to select the thresholds automatically and get good segmentation results both qualitatively and quantitatively.
