Matlab provides a variety of tools to perform image segmentation. One approach is to use the "Active Contour" or "Snake" algorithm based on the energy minimization principle. This is an iterative algorithm that seeks to minimize an energy function to obtain the optimal boundary of the object of interest. Here's an example code on how to perform autosegmentation using the Active Contour algorithm:
main.m450 chars20 lines
In this code, we first read an image and convert it to grayscale. We then blur the image using a Gaussian filter to decrease noise. We initialize the active contour and perform the segmentation using the activecontour
function with 400 iterations and the Chan-Vese method. Finally, we display the original and segmented images.
Note that this is just one approach to autosegmentation, and there are many other techniques and algorithms available in Matlab for this purpose.
