Lattice Boltzmann Anisotropic Diffusion Model Based Image Segmentation
Abstract
This chapter introduces a new method of image segmentation based on Lattice Boltzmann Anisotropic Diffusion Model (LBADM). Anisotropic diffusion model is build by the membrane media. Active contour model is simulated by thermal diffusion equation, and the heat field is established. Then, by the LBADM it can be obtain the edge of object segmentation. The experiment and discussion is showed that our algorithm can accurately solve the convection–diffusion equation. It can obtain closed curves and deal with topology changes well. Contrasting with the level set method and narrowband level set method for computing speed,the result of the experiment is confirmed that the algorithm greatly reduces the computation of segmentation.
