Gray image segmentation is to segment an image into some homogeneous regions and only one gray level is defined for each region as the result. These grayl evels are called major gray levels. Mean shift algorithm(MSA) has shown its efficiency in image segmentation. An improved gray image segmentation method based on MSAis proposed in this paper since usual image segmentation methods based on MSA often fail in segmenting imageswith weak edges. Corrupted block and its J-value are defined firstly in the proposed method. Then, J-matrix gotten from corrupted blocks are proposed to measure whether weak edges appear in the image. According to the J-matrix, major gray levels gotten with usual segmen-tation methods based on MSA are augmented and corre-sponding allocation windows are modified to detect weak edges. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in gray image segmentation.
