Wood adhesion cell segmentation scheme based on GVF-Snake model

In order to extract the characteristic parameters of the wood cells accurately, this paper presents an efficient scheme for wood cell segmentation. This scheme is mainly based on GVF-Snake model and the method of image thinning. Firstly, computing the Category Roundness of every connectivity domain is done in order to get the degree of adhesion. Secondly, image thinning helps to get the skeleton of the cell. Finally, according to the location coordinates of skeleton and contour, it can determine the location of segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate the scheme for precise extraction with limited human intervention; it can also determine the correct edge of segmentation. Comparatively speaking, the inaccuracy is rather limited.
