Abstract

An automatic quick-shift framework is proposed for color image segmentation based on illumination invariant representation. In practice, the quick-shift method is sensitive to the choice of parameters, thus a quick tuning by hand is not sufficient. Changing parameters values make the proposed framework flexible and robust against different image characteristics. We eliminate the factors that may affect natural image acquisition such as shadow and highlight by applying an invariant method. This method is valid for large size images. The effectiveness of the proposed framework for a variety of images including different objects of metals and dielectrics are examined in experiments.
