By comparing the segmentation effect with artificial method of the 30 Lingwu long jujubes images, it proves that the color image segmentation method of Lingwu long jujubes based on the maximum entropy has good effect to extract the object region.
The experiments exhibited the segmentation effect of the proposed method is satisfactory from human visual aspect and segmentation accuracy.
A partitioning annotation, on the other hand, annotates the segmentation produced by the segmentation algorithm, in our case the output of the method from [ 4].
Considering that only the Dice coefficient is influenced by the segmentation, we hypothesize that both Digimouse segmentations are equivalent and will not bias the results.
Compared to image in the artificial segmentation, the effect of segmentation by algorithm of this paper is following Fig. 15c, d.
The practical effect of the abridging parameter was studied by running the segmentation on 100 images provided by the "test set" of the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset and Benchmark (BSDS) [32] using various bandwidths and abridging parameters (see Sect. 4.4).
The segmentation was repeated 18 times for each genome, by rotating the segmentation at 20° increments.
For all the methods based on image segmentation, the effect of the roughness can be highly suppressed by using a proper segmentation technique.
After segmentation, the log2 ratios were centered to a median of zero by using only normal segments, and the segmentation was repeated.
We then validated the cell segmentation algorithm by visually inspecting the segmented image results with the staining patterns used for the segmentation by overlaying the segmentation masks onto biomarker images using visualization software.
