This paper presents a new approach to forming overlapping clusters of objects by balancing the effects of incompleteness, impurity and overlap. Incompleteness results from similar objects separated into different clusters while impurity arises when a cluster contains dissimilar objects. Overlap is caused by nodes that appear in more than one cluster. The key to balancing these effects is the id...

In this paper we present a method of abrupt cut detection with a novel logic of frames’ comparison. Actual frame is compared with its motion estimated prediction instead of comparison with successive frame. Four different similarity metrics were employed to estimate the resemblance of compared frames. Obtained results were evaluated by standard used measures of test accuracy and compared with e...

Image segmentation is used in Image Processing. Seed-based methods for region based image segmentation are known to provide the results for a few applications, being usually easy to extend to multidimensional images. The region growing procedure is finished by image foresting transformation which develops the initial seed region by finding the close by pixels identified with seed region. To exa...
