A study of contextual modeling and texture characterization for multiscale Bayesian segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we demonstrate that multiscale Bayesian image segmentation can be enhanced by improving both contextual modeling and statistical texture characterization. Firstly, we show a joint multi-context and multiscale approach to achieve more robust contextual modeling by using multiple context models. Secondly, we study statistical texture characterization using wavelet-domain Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), and in particular, we use an improved HMM, HMT-3S, to obtain more accurate multiscale texture characterization. Experimental results show that both of them play important roles in multiscale Bayesian segmentation.

Multiscale Texture Segmentation Using Hybrid Contextual Labeling Tree
Wavelet-domain hidden Markov tree (HMT) model has been recently proposed and applied to image processing, e.g., image segmentation. A new multiscale image segmentation method, called HMTseg, was proposed by Choi and Baraniuk using the waveletdomain HMT. In this paper, we study the HMTseg algorithm and investigate the Contextual Labeling Tree which is used for the context-based Bayesian intersca...
متن کاملMultiscale Document Segmentation
In this paper, we propose a new approach to document segmentation which exploits both local texture characteristics and image structure to segment scanned documents into regions such as text, background, headings and images. Our method is based on the use of a multiscale Bayesian framework. This framework is chosen because it allows accurate modeling of both the image characteristics and contex...
متن کاملMultiscale Image Segmentation Using Joint Texture and Shape Analysis
We develop a general framework to simultaneously exploit texture and shape characterization in multiscale image segmentation. By posing multiscale segmentation as a model selection problem, we invoke the powerful framework ooered by minimum description length (MDL). This framework dictates that multiscale segmentation comprises multiscale texture characterization and multiscale shape coding. An...

متن کاملUnsupervised Multiscale Image Segmentation
We propose a general unsupervised multiscale featurebased approach towards image segmentation. Clusters in the feature space are assumed to be properties of underlying classes, the recovery of which is achieved by the use of the mean shift procedure, a robust non-parametric decomposition method. The subsequent classification procedure consists of Bayesian multiscale processing which models the ...
