This paper is concerned with the segmentation of two- and three-dimensional images containing separated layers. We tackle this problem by combining the fuzzy c-means algorithm with recently developed convex multi-class segmentation algorithms, where we modify the data term of the corresponding functional to involve the information of the layer structure. We solve the optimization problem numerically by applying an alternating direction method of multipliers in conjunction with the fast discrete cosine transform to solve the involved linear system of equations. We demonstrate the performance of our method on synthetic and real-world images. In particular we deal with the segmentation of three-dimensional images arising from micro-computed tomography of C/SiC-ceramics by synchrotron radiation.
► Recently developed convex segmentation models are adapted to separate layers.
► The algorithm consists of successive application of fuzzy c-means and ADMM.
► The involved linear system is solved efficiently by the discrete cosine transform.
► The segmentation is applied to 3d images of C/SiC-ceramics.
► The separation of layers is motivated by the structure of the C/SiC-ceramics.
