A pyramidal image segmentation algorithm
Pavel A. Chochia · Journal of Communications Technology and Electronics · 2010
The problem of image segmentation (division into homogeneous regions) basing on color and texture region differences is considered. A two-level hierarchical pyramidal segmentation algorithm is proposed for solution of this problem. The homogeneity criterion is the estimated adjacency of the image elements and regions in the combined color-texture feature space. A metric in this space is introduced and studied. The results are verified on a set of test images of different types.
