Abstract. The importance of spatial configuration information for object class recognition is widely recognized. Single isolated local appearance codes are often ambiguous. On the...
A method allowing to integrate syntactic and semantic approaches in an automatic segmentation process is described. This integration is possible thanks to the formalism of graphs....
Many cues have been proposed for contour detection or image segmentation. These include low-level image gradients to high-level information such as the identity of the objects in ...
In this paper we introduce user-defined segmentation constraints within the level set methods. Snake-driven methods are powerful and widely explored techniques for object extractio...
We present a novel algorithm for unsupervised segmentation of natural images that harnesses the principle of minimum description length (MDL). Our method is based on observations ...
