Numerical techniques for the integral defined by a contour

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a numerical integral defined by a contour using interpolation techniques. The integral in question is expressed as ∫σ==0 Ai*r ds, where Ai represents control points and r is a mean value. The user seeks clarification on applying numerical methods, particularly the trapezoidal method, to discrete data points in an image, specifically when the contour of the level set is equal to zero. The challenge lies in effectively integrating over a subset of discrete points rather than a continuous function.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of numerical integration techniques, specifically the trapezoidal method.
  • Familiarity with contour integration and level sets in image processing.
  • Knowledge of interpolation methods for discrete data points.
  • Basic concepts of vector calculus, particularly gradient operations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Numerical integration techniques for discrete data" to explore various methods.
  • Learn about "Contour integration in image processing" to understand its applications.
  • Investigate "Interpolation methods for discrete datasets" to improve integration accuracy.
  • Study "Gradient-based optimization techniques" for better handling of control points.

Homework Statement


I have a doubt about how to solve an integral and what numerical method I could use to solve it.

Example

A = [1,2;2,4]
Contour = [0,0,1,1]
r = I-mean;

integral of the position where the contour is equal zero and obtaining from that positon the value Ai which is the value of the control point at that position


∫σ==0 Ai*r ds


or the original that would be
∇E(λ) = ∫{Φλ=0} ϕi(s)r(s)/||∇Φλ(s)||ds

where Φ is the contour and ϕ interpolated values


Homework Equations



∫σ==0 interpolation in control points*r ds

integrate only where the contour of the level set (active contour) is equal 0.

The Attempt at a Solution



summatory of the points of the image that are equal 0 following the formula but it does not work. So I wonder how to make an integral of a interpolation and if I can use any technique with this kind of functions.

Thanks

Let's simplify the question, I hope it is simple to understand. how would you solve a discrete integral over an image. So I have discrete points over the image and I am just interested in a subset. If it was a polynomial function it would be straightforward but how do you deal with the width between the points to use for example the trapezoidal method?.
