A multi-step method of partitioning the pixels of an image such that the partitions at one step are wholly nested inside the partitions of the next step is described, i.e. we desc...
We introduce a new causal hierarchical belief network for image segmentation. Contrary to classical tree structured (or pyramidal) models, the factor graph of the network contains...
Abstract. This paper presents an application of a hierarchical social (HS) metaheuristic to region-based segmentation. The original image is modelled as a simplified image graph, w...
This paper proposes a new evolutionary region merging method in order to efficiently improve segmentation quality results. Our approach starts from an oversegmented image, which is...
Abstract. A new algorithm for interactive image segmentation is proposed. Besides the traditional appearance and gradient information, a new Generic Shape Prior (GSP) knowledge whi...
