An approach to image segmentation using multiresolution analysis of wavelets
Zhiping Shi, Ryosuke Shibasaki · 2003
Local changes or variations of the intensity of an image (such as edges and corners), are important information for image processing and pattern recognition. Wavelet analysis is one of the most popular techniques that can be used to detect local intensity variation. In this paper, multiresolution analysis of wavelets is used to decompose images into pyramid images. Edges and peaks are extracted from pyramid images. A coarse-to-fine image segmentation method is proposed in this paper.
