An Investigation Into The Effect Of Independence Of Pixel Images On Image Segmentation
Tianhu Lei, Wilfred Sewchand · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1990
This paper proposes a procedure to investigate whether the statistical independence among the pixel images of a picture affects the statistical image segmentation. The results of investi-gation shows that ignoring this independence will degrade the quality of the segmented images: the more pixels which belong to the major image regions will be misclassified into the minor image regions, an artifact of statistical image segmentation. The procedure utilized in this in-vestigation can be used as an accurate statistical image segmentation technique .
