چکیده

This paper defines the basis of a new hierarchical framework for segmentation algorithms based on energy minimization schemes. This new framework is based on two formal tools. First, a combinatorial pyramid encode efficiently a hierarchy of partitions. Secondly, discrete geometric estimators measure precisely some important geometric parameters of the regions. These measures combined with photometrical and topological features of the partition allows to design energy terms based on discrete measures. Our segmentation framework exploits these energies to build a pyramid of image partitions with a minimization scheme. Some experiments illustrating our framework are shown and discussed.

A Top Down Construction Scheme for Irregular Pyramids

Hierarchical data structures such as irregular pyramids are used by many applications related to image processing and segmentation. The construction scheme of such pyramids is bottom-up. Such a scheme forbids the definition of a level according to more global information defined at upper levels in the hierarchy. Moreover, the base of the pyramid has to encode any single pixel of the initial ima...

A Novel Combinatorial Approach to Discrete Fracture Network Modeling in Heterogeneous Media

Fractured reservoirs contain about 85 and 90 percent of oil and gas resources respectively in Iran. A comprehensive study and investigation of fractures as the main factor affecting fluid flow or perhaps barrier seems necessary for reservoir development studies. High degrees of heterogeneity and sparseness of data have incapacitated conventional deterministic methods in fracture network modelin...

Connecing Walks and Connecting Dart Sequences for N-d Combinatorial Pyramids Connecting Walks and Connecting Dart Sequences for N-d Combinatorial Pyramids

Combinatorial maps define a general framework which allows to encode any subdivision of an n-D orientable quasi-manifold with or without boundaries. Combinatorial pyramids are defined as stacks of successively reduced combinatorial maps. Such pyramids provide a rich framework which allows to encode fine properties of objects (either shapes or partitions). Combinatorial pyramids have first been ...
