Abstract. Unman aerial vehicle (UAV) LiDAR has been widely used in the field of forestry. Individual tree extraction is a key step for forest inventory. Although many individual tree extraction methods have been proposed, the individual tree extraction accuracy is still low due to the complex forest environments. Moreover, many parameters in these methods generally need to be set. Thus, the degree of automation of the methods is generally low. To solve these problems, this paper proposed an automatic mean shift segmentation method, in which the kernel bandwidths can be calculated self-adaptively. Meanwhile, a hierarchy mean shift segmentation technique was proposed to extract individual tree gradually. A plot-level UAV LiDAR tree dataset was adopted for testing the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results showed that the proposed method can achieve better individual tree extraction result without any parameter setting. Compared with the traditional mean shift segmentation method, both the completeness and mean accuracy of the proposed method are higher.

In this paper, an automatic exposure compensation method is proposed for image enhancement. For the exposure compensation, a novel image segmentation method based on luminance distribution is also proposed. Most single-image-enhancement methods often cause details to be lost in bright areas in images or cannot sufficiently enhance contrasts in dark regions. The image-enhancement method that uses the proposed compensation method enables us to produce high-quality images which well represent both bright and dark areas by fusing pseudo multi-exposure images generated from a single image. Here, pseudo multi-exposure images are automatically generated by the proposed exposure compensation method. To generate effective pseudo multi-exposure images, the proposed segmentation method is utilized for automatic parameter setting in the compensation method. In experiments, image enhancement with the proposed compensation method outperforms state-of-the-art image enhancement methods including Retinex-based methods, in terms of both entropy and statistical naturalness. Moreover, visual comparison results show that the proposed compensation method is effective in producing images that clearly present both bright and dark areas.

Image segmentation plays a vital role in several medical imaging programs by assisting the delineation of physiological structures along with other parts. The objective of this research work is to segmentize human lung MRI (Medical resonance Imaging) images for early detection of cancer.Watershed Transform Technique is implemented as the Segmentation method in this work. Some comparative experiments using both directly applied watershed algorithm and after marking foreground and computed background segmentation methods show the improved lung segmentation accuracy in some image cases.

Fuzzy c-means clustering is a popular image segmentation technique, in which a single pixel belongs to multiple clusters, with varying degree of membership. The main drawback of this method is it sensitive to noise. This method can be improved by incorporating multiresolution stationary wavelet analysis. In this paper we develop a robust image segmentation method using Fuzzy c-means clustering and wavelet transform. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is more accurate than the Fuzzy c-means clustering.
