摘要
In the paper, we present an efficient method to solve the piecewise constant Mumford-Shah (M-S) model for two-phase image segmentation within the level set framework. A clustering algorithm is used to find approximately the intensity means of foreground and background in the image, and so the M-S functional is reduced to the functional of a single variable (level set function), which avoids using complicated alternating optimization to minimize the reduced M-S functional. Experimental results demonstrated some advantages of the proposed method over the well-known Chan-Vese method using alternating optimization, such as robustness to the locations of initial contour and the high computation efficiency.
