| Abstract | In this paper, the problem of automatic segmentation and classification of seafloor using acoustic ground discrimination systems is discussed and a new split and merge algorithm based on contourlet transform is presented. The contourlet transform is a new two-dimensional extension of the wavelet transform using multiscale and directional filter banks. It appears to be a suitable tool for this task, because it allows analysis of images at various levels of resolution as well as directions, which effectively capture smooth contours that are the dominant feature in seabed images. In the proposed approach, the input image of seabed is split into M times M blocks. Each block is classified separately using four levels of contourlet transform with 28 directional bandpass sub-bands. First-order and second-order statistics of the high frequency details from all sub-bands of the contourlet coefficients are extracted as features and a weighted distance classifier is used for block classification. Moreover, the effectiveness of other contourlet domain features such as sub-band energy in discriminating different seabed textures is presented. Finally, the classified blocks on the boundaries of the segmented image, are refined and merged to produce the final segmented image. The proposed method provides a fast tool with enough accuracy that can be implemented in a parallel structure for real-time processing. In addition, the simulation results are compared with the results of wavelet-based methods as well as other well-known techniques to show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
