A new modified neutrosophic set segmentation approach

Segmentation is paramount to 3D video systems employing multi-view video-plus-depth data (MVD) to implement free-viewpoint navigation and comfortable 3D viewing, mod- eling, and comprehension. The Neutrosophic Set (NS) concept relies on the neutrosophy theory dealing with structures, and it focuses on the origin, scope, and nature of neutral- ities. NS used in this study is norm-entropy-based, and it is called Modified Neutrosophic Set Segmentation (MNSS). 3D modeling method via MNSS (3DMM_MNSS) proposed in this study improves the quality of single object 3D modeling through an NS stratagem called MNSS. 3DMM_MNSS is compared with 3D modeling method via OATS (3DMM_OATS) and with the 3D modeling method via FCMS (3DMM_FCMS). MNSS improves the quality of 3D modeling and prevents the problems arising from the depth map imprecision in terms of Figure of Merit (FOM), the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and the Uniformity Measure (UM) as performance metrics
