Enhancement Method

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.

PCNN model is particularly suitable for image segmentation and edge extraction, but its effect depends on the selection of parameters in PCNN model and network iteration settings, which needs for a large number of artificial interaction and has limited PCNN image processing practicality. In this paper, through combining statistical properties of images and PCNN model, we present an adaptive algorithm based on the distribution of pixels to replace the artificial interaction. Experimental results show that image segmentation using image enhancement and PCNN with adaptive parameters is significantly better than the traditional PCNN image segmentation and verify the effectiveness of the method.

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.

We present a sample-efficient image segmentation method using active learning, we call it Active Bayesian UNet, or AB-UNet. This is a convolutional neural network using batch normalization and max-pool dropout. The Bayesian setup is achieved by exploiting the probabilistic extension of the dropout mechanism, leading to the possibility to use the uncertainty inherently present in the system. We set up our experiments on various medical image datasets and highlight that with a smaller annotation effort our AB-UNet leads to stable training and better generalization. Added to this, we can efficiently choose from an unlabelled dataset.
