A Parallel Algorithm for Stochastic Image Segmentation
Hon-Son Don, King‐Sun Fu · IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence · 1986
A parallel algorithm for syntactic image segmentation is introduced. Stochastic tree grammar is used as a context-generating model. It is shown that when this context-generating process is in the equilibrium state, a matched filter can be designed and applied in parallel to the image. This process can be used for image segmentation in a syntactic pattern recognition system to enhance the performance of the succeeding recognition process.
