Abstract :
Image segmentation method based on the existing spectrum clustering algorithm cannot accurately segment sonar image because of the ambiguous object edge, extremely complex noisy background and critical shadow impact of sonar image, and aiming at this problem, this paper proposed an improved spectrum clustering sonar image segmentation method. First of all, to overcome negative impact of the sonar image shadow and achieve selective segmentation of sonar target, morphological top-hat transformation and bottom-hat transformation were used for sonar image preprocessing; Secondly, image segmentation based on spectrum clustering was done after preprocessing and an improved spectral clustering sonar image segmentation system was constructed; Finally, simulation experiment was taken and the results showed that the proposed method is more suitable for sonar image segmentation.
