In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
In this paper, we propose a new fast semi-supervised image segmentation method based on augmented tree partitioning. Unlike many existing methods that use a graph structure to mod...
Text segmentation, or named text binarization, is usually an essential step for text information extraction from images and videos. However, most existing text segmentation method...
This paper addresses two image sequence analysis issues under a common framework. These tasks are, "rst, motion-based segmentation and second, updating and tracking over time...
In this paper we propose an image segmentation algorithm that combines region merging with spectral-based techniques. An initial partitioning of the image into primitive regions i...
