A segmentation algorithm based on a local adaptive prior Markov random field(MRF)model is proposed to solve the problem that the global homogeneous prior MRF model is inefficient to utilize the local statistic feature of nature images for image segmentation. The algorithm is based on Bayesian theory
utilizes local prior Potts model to represent image local features
and builds a local adaptive prior MRF model. A modified local region belief propagation(BP)algorithm is proposed over the MRF model
hence
local region features of an image are spreaded in global. The segment results of an image are obtained using a maximum posteriori(MAP)criterion. Experiment results show that the proposed adaptive prior MRF model generates more accurate segment results on the noise and texture of images than the global homogeneous prior MRF model does
and the proposed model has strong robustness on the interference of image noise or texture. The segmentation algorithm generates more accurate segmentation with less iterations and a short time.
