1 Graph C Approach o he Problem o Image Segmenaion CS7640 Ro Whiaker Adaped rom Anong Chen

2 Oline Image Segmenaion and Graph C Inrodcion Glance a Graph Theory Graph C and Max-Flow/Min-C Algorihm Solving Image Segmenaion Problem Experimenal Example

3 Image Segmenaion and Graph C Inrodcion An image egmenaion problem can be inerpreed a pariioning he image elemen pixel/voxel ino dieren caegorie A C o a graph i a pariion o he verice in he graph ino wo dijoin be Conrcing a graph wih an image we can olve he egmenaion problem ing echniqe or graph c in graph heory

4 Conrcing a Graph rom an Image Two kind o verice Two kind o edge C - Segmenaion

5 Glance a Graph Theory e E Undireced Graph An ndireced graph i deined a a e o G = V E node verice V and a e o ndireced edge E ha connec he node. Aigning each edge a weigh he graph become an ndireced weighed graph. we 3

6 Glance a Graph Theory Direced Graph o A direced graph i deined a a e o node verice V and a e o ordered e o verice or direced edge E ha connec he node For an edge e=v i called he ail o e v i called he head o e. Thi edge i dieren rom he edge e =v G = V E e ' = v e = v 3 3

7 Glance a Graph Theory A c i a e o edge C E ch ha he wo erminal become eparaed on he indced graph G ' = V E \ C Denoing a orce erminal a and a ink erminal a a c S T o G = V E i a pariion o V ino S and T = V \S ch ha T and S

8 Graph C and Max-Flow/Min-C Algorihm A low nework i deined a a direced graph where an edge ha a nonnegaive capaciy A low in G i a real-valed oen ineger ncion ha aiie he ollowing hree properie: o Capaciy Conrain: o For all v V v c v o Skew Symmery o For all v V v = v o Flow Conervaion o For all V \{ } v = 0 v V

9 How o Find he Minimm C? Theorem: o In graph G he maximm orce-o-ink low poible i eqal o he capaciy o he minimm c in G. o L. R. Fold Graph Theory Applicaion 99 Springer-Verlag New York Inc

10 Maximm Flow and Minimm C Some Concep Problem o I i a low hen he ne low acro he c S T i deined o be S T which i he m o all edge capaciie rom S o T braced by he m o all edge capaciie rom T o S o The capaciy o he c S T i c S T which i he m o he capaciie o all edge rom S o T o A minimm c i a c whoe capaciy i he minimm over all c o G.

11 Algorihm o Solve Max-Flow Problem Ford-Flkeron Algorihm Ph-Relabel Algorihm New Algorihm by Boykov ec.

12 Ford-Flkeron Algorihm Main Operaion Saring rom zero low increae he low gradally by inding a pah rom o along which more low can be en nil a max-low i achieved The pah or low o be phed hrogh i called an agmening pah

13 Ford-Flkeron Algorihm The Ford-Flkeron algorihm e a reidal nework o low in order o ind he olion The reidal nework i deined a he nework o edge conaining low ha ha already been en In he graph hown below here i an iniial pah rom he orce o he ink and he middle edge ha a oal capaciy o 3 and a reidal capaciy o 3-= 0/ 0/ / /3 / 0/ 0/

14 Ford-Flkeron Algorihm Aming here are wo verice and v le v denoe he low beween hem c v be he oal capaciy c v be he reidal capaciy and here hold be o c v = c v v Given a low nework and a low he reidal nework o G i G = V E where E = { v V V : c v > 0} Given a low nework and a low an agmening pah P i a imple pah rom o in he reidal nework We call he maximm amon by which we can increae he low on each edge in an agmening pah P he reidal capaciy o P given by o c P = min{c v : v i on P}

15 Algorihm Execion Example 0/ = 0 = 0/ 0/ 0/ 0/3 0/ 0/ a d = 0 = 3 3 b e = / = 3 3 / /3 / / / c /

16 Finding he Min-C Aer he max-low i ond he minimm c i deermined by S = {All verice reachable rom } T = G \ S

17 Special Cae A in ome applicaion only ndireced graph i conrced when we wan o ind he min-c we aign wo edge wih he ame capaciy o ake he place o he original ndireced edge a b

18 Algorihm Framework The baic Ford- Flkeron algorihm or each edge do v 0 v 0 v E while here exi a pah P rom o in he reidal nework G do c P min{c v : v i on P} or each edge v in P do v v + c P v v

19 Ford-Flkeron Algorihm Analyi Rnning ime o he algorihm depend on how he agmening pah i deermined o I he earching or agmening pah i realized by a breadh-ir earch he algorihm rn in polynomial ime o O E max In exreme cae eiciency can be redced draically. o Below applying Ford-Flkeron algorihm need 400 ieraion o ge he max low o 400 v v

20 Ph-Relabel Algorihm Thi algorihm doe no mainain a low conervaion rle here i V \{ } V 0 We call he oal ne low a a verex he exce low ino given by e = V. We ay ha a verex V \{ } i overlowing i e = V > 0 Heigh Fncion: o Le G = V E be a low nework wih orce and ink le be a prelow he low aiying he kew ymmery capaciy conrain and he condiion above in G. A ncion h :V Ν i a heigh ncion i h = V h = 0 and or every reidal edge v E
