Page segmentation into text and non-text components is an essential preprocessing step before OCR operation. If this is not done properly, an OCR classification engine produces g...

Synthetic aperture side-scan sonar (SAS) is an imaging modality for detecting objects on the sea floor and in shallow water. SAS images provide an echo of an object along with its...
In this paper, we first generalize a recent statistical color image segmentation algorithm [5] to arbitrary graphs, and report its performance for 2D images, 3D meshes and volume...
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...
In this paper, we propose a competitive image segmentation algorithm. It is a dynamic evolving optimization method, which we call the population algorithm. The method is inspired f...

Image segmentation is an important process of image analysis. Most of the published approaches for image segmentation need to set appropriate parameter values to cope with the unc...
This paper describes a novel multiresolution image segmentation algorithm for separating sharply focused objects-of-interest from other foreground or background objects in low dep...

In this paper, we develop a system to classify the outputs of image segmentation algorithms as perceptually relevant or perceptually irrelevant with respect to human perception. T...
—This paper proposes an improved version for the JSEG color image segmentation algorithm, combining the classical JSEG algorithm and a local fractal operator that measures the fr...
We present an energy based automatic image segmentation algorithm that uses a novel active contour scheme, called the stochastic active contour scheme (STACS). The algorithm overc...
