Image segmentation is conventionally formulated as a pixellabeling problem, in which “hard” decisions have to be made to partition pixels into regions. As image segmentation i...
—We propose an automatic approach to soft color segmentation, which produces soft color segments with an appropriate amount of overlapping and transparency essential to synthesiz...
This paper deals with the creation of visual segment trees involved in MPEG-7 Description Schemes. After a brief overview of MPEG7 description schemes in general and of the Segmen...
This paper presents a segmentation scheme for images containing both smooth regions and textures. It is based on a vector-valued anisotropic diffusion on a combined color/Gabor fe...
A new probabilistic image segmentation model based on hypothesis testing and Gibbs Random Fields is introduced. First, a probabilistic difference measure derived from a set of hyp...
