SAR image segmentation algorithms based on I-divergence-TV model
In this paper, we propose a novel variational active contour model based on I-divergence-TV model to segment Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with multiplicative gamma noise, which hybrides edge-based model with region-based model. The proposed model can efficiently stop the contours at weak or blurred edges, and can automatically detect the exterior and interior boundaries of images. We incorporate the global convex segmentation method and split Bregman technique into the proposed model, and propose a fast fixed point algorithm to solve the global convex segmentation question[25]. Experimental results for synthetic images and real SAR images show that the proposed fast fixed point algorithm is robust and efficient compared with the state-of-the-art approach.
