Abstract

Firstly, the flaw of usual colored image to gray was discussed. And a new method of colored image to gray based on gradient domain was proposed. Secondly, the gray image was segmented using the level set method. Finally, it was compared the method of this paper with the traditional level set method. The numerical examples shown that the new method is stable and it can deal with the case of the topology change,and it can advance the accuracy of image segmentation.
