Image segmentation using domain constraints
Matthew O. Ward, Suresh Rajasekaran · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1991
Image segmentation techniques which employ domain knowledge produce in general much better results than context-free methods but often suffer from lack of portability and excessive development and computation time. We describe a new segmentation technique which employs very general knowledge of domain characteristics to improve the performance of context-free systems while avoiding many of the problems of existing domain-specific methods.
