Segmentation of images having intensity inhomogeneity and texture is always challenging. A region based model is proposed for segmentation of images having intensity inhomogeneity and texture. The model uses local hybrid image data combined with fuzzy membership function, which helps the model to achieve global minimum. No re-initialization is not required. Due to the use of local intensity information of the hybrid image, the model works well in images having intensity inhomogeneity. For segmentation of texture images, the proposed model is combined with extended structure tensor (EST). The model works well in images having clutter background, and images having maximum, minimum or average intensity background.
