Unsupervised Active Regions for Multiresolution Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An unsupervised approach to image segmentation which fuses region and boundary information is presented. The proposed approach takes advantage of the combined use of 3 different strategies: the guidance of seed placement, the control of decision criterion, and the boundary refinement. The new algorithm uses the boundary information to initialize a set of active regions which compete for the pixels in order to segment the whole image. The method is implemented on a multiresolution representation which ensures noise robustness as well as computation efficiency. The accuracy of the segmentation results has been proven through an objective comparative evaluation of the method.

متن کاملActive Regions for Unsupervised Texture Segmentation Integrating Region and Boundary Information
| A novel approach to texture segmentation which uni es region and boundary information is presented. The algorithm uses a coarse detection of the texture boundaries to initialize a set of active regions. Therefore, the initial unsupervised segmentation problem is transformed to a supervised one, which allows us to accurately extract region and boundary information. Then, the regions compete fo...

متن کاملUsing Color and Edge Information in an Unsupervised Quadtree-based Segmentation Algorithm*
There exist many different approaches for image segmentation. Most of these segmentation techniques were motivated by specific application purposes. In this article, we present an unsupervised segmentation algorithm through a multiresolution approach which uses both color and edge information in order to segment fruit images. In addition, we use a Quadtree structure that speeds up the whole pro...
