Split-And-Merge Segmentation Using An F Test Criterion
Robert H. Laprade, Mark F. Doherty · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1987
A modified version of the split-and-merge algorithm is described. During the merging and splitting phases, an F test is used to test the uniformity of the four quads. During the region formation phase, a compound predicate consisting of the F test and the mean is used. Results are presented for several images.
