Abstract
Shadow detection is a significant preprocessing work that soil species are classified with machine vision because shadow may affect the accuracy of identifying soil species. To judge the number of shadows in a soil image used for soil species identification, density peak clustering for shadow detection of soil image (DPCSDSI) is proposed to segment shadows. Firstly, the \(Bright\) histogram of a soil image is built and its Gaussian smoothing is done. Then a new parameter-free density formula and decision value measure are reconstructed. Because shadow detection is a typical binary classification problem, the two \({x_i}\) points with the largest decision value \({\gamma _i}\) are chosen as the cluster centers of shadow and non-shadow. And the clustering labels gray levels are initialized by the original DPC algorithm with the cluster centers. Next, the \(Bright\) histogram is fitted with Fourier series to search valleys and update the clustering labels. Finally, the clustering labels are corrected with uncertainty coefficient until Eq. (21) is satisfied, which finishes the segmentation of shadow and non-shadow in a soil image. The simulation results show that DPCSDSI is better than the contrast algorithms and its average brightness standard deviations of the shadow and non-shadow are, respectively, 20.5484 and 20.9024. It can detect adaptively shadows in a soil image and there is not the “domino” error propagation in it, so it is effective.
