Face segmentation is the process of segmenting the visible parts of the face excluding the neck, ears, hair, and beards. In this field, several methods have been developed, but none of them have been effective in providing optimal face segmentation. Hence, we proposed a novel face segmentation method known as level-set-based neural network (NN) algorithm. This method exploits a hybrid filter for the pre-processing of images, which eliminates the unwanted noises and blurring effect from the images. The hybrid filter is the combination of Median, Mean, and Gaussian filters and effectively removes the unwanted noises. Hence the images are segmented by utilizing level-set-based NN algorithm which is commonly based on the population set and effectively reduces the gap between the predicted and expected outcomes. The proposed method is compared with state-of-art methods such as Fully convolution network (FCN), Gabor filter(GF), multi-class semantic face segmentation(MSFS), and genetic algorithms (GA). From the experimental analysis, it is evident that the proposed work achieved better results comparing to other approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
