2 Binary segmentation Binary segmentation Output of tomograph: grayscale image (X-ray attenuation coefficient) Input of models: binary B/W (ice/air) image Questions: - How can we extract the maximum information out of the grayscale image? - How structural parameters derived from the binary image are sensitive to segmentation?

3 Outline Why is segmentation not straightforward? Segmentation techniques Threshold-based approach Energy-based approach Results

4 Why is segmentation not straightforward?

5 Why is segmentation not straightforward? Images artifacts: - Noise (electronic, small variations inside material, etc.) - Blur (discretization artifact, reconstruction affected by noise, etc.) Segmentation with our eyes seems simple but our brain uses complex criterions (common shapes, continuity, grayscale gradient,...), that are difficult to implement in a computer.

6 Segmentation techniques

7 Threshold-based segmentation Commonly used, simple and fast method Initial image with threshold

8 Threshold-based segmentation Commonly used, simple and fast method Smoothed image with threshold

9 Threshold-based segmentation Commonly used, simple and fast method Difficulties: - size of smoothing (does not define the effective resolution of the image) Smoothed image with threshold

10 Threshold-based segmentation Commonly used, simple and fast method Difficulties: - size of smoothing (does not define the effective resolution of the image) Example of unimodal histogram

11 Threshold-based segmentation Commonly used, simple and fast method Difficulties: - size of smoothing (does not define the effective resolution of the image) - large impact of the threshold that is difficult to chose Example of unimodal histogram

12 Definition of a segmentation energy E. Energy-based method = Imperative method (Boykov and Funka-Lea, 2006)

13 Definition of a segmentation energy E. Energy-based method = Imperative method E(L) =E v (L)+r S(L) (Boykov and Funka-Lea, 2006)

18 Data fidelity term E(L) =E v (L)+r S(L) Quantifies the penalty assigning a voxel to ice or to background according to its gray value

19 Data fidelity term E(L) =E v (L)+r S(L) Quantifies the penalty assigning a voxel to ice or to background according to its gray value Equivalent of «thresholding» but also provides the «uncertainty» of the segmentation (value of Ev)

20 Regularization term (minimization of surface area) E(L) =E v (L)+r S(L) Metamorphosed snow scanned with electron microscopy (Erbe et al., 2003)

21 Regularization term (minimization of surface area) E(L) =E v (L)+r S(L) Metamorphism tends to reduce the surface energy of snow. Comparisons between SSA measured via tomography or methane adsorption (Kerbrat et al., 2008) have shown that the snow surface (except fresh snow) is essentially smooth up to a scale of 30 microns. Metamorphosed snow scanned with electron microscopy (Erbe et al., 2003)

22 Regularization term (minimization of surface area) E(L) =E v (L)+r S(L) Metamorphism tends to reduce the surface energy of snow. Comparisons between SSA measured via tomography or methane adsorption (Kerbrat et al., 2008) have shown that the snow surface (except fresh snow) is essentially smooth up to a scale of 30 microns. For air/ice samples, one can weight the surface area by the local grayscale gradient Metamorphosed snow scanned with electron microscopy (Erbe et al., 2003)

59 Conclusion

60 Conclusion Conclusion about the energy-based segmentation technique: - Explicit segmentation criterions, explicit effective resolution - Regularization term interesting for snow (metamorphism) - Global optimization (robust) but larger computing time (about 10 h for 1000*1000*1000 voxel image) Conclusion about «tomography» SSA : - noise induced protuberances can significantly contribute to the overall SSA, which will then be overestimated, - for snow with structure details on the order of the voxel size, as fresh snow, the SSA value cannot be measured independently of the used resolution.
