Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new variational image segmentation model based on a non-convex regularization and an efficient parameter selection to better conserve the image structures and control the segmentation of the boundary with less intensity inhomogeneities. The proposed regularization associated to the automatic selection of the parameter \(\lambda \) allows us to segment an image with low intensities loss. In addition, we introduce fast and efficient optimization algorithms that can handle the non-smoothness of the objective function. In fact, the output segmented regions in the image, as well as edges construction are better conserved. Selected numerical experiments demonstrate that the segmented images can cope with some sate of art segmentation results.
