Image Segmentation Using Multiscale Gradient Toboggan
Li Guo, Gao Liqun, Pian Zhao-yu, Wang Kun · 2007
Toboggan is an important tool on image segmentation, and the performance of image segmentation based on toboggan mostly independent on the gradient image. A method of image segmentation was presented, which is toboggan segmentation. The gradient image is computed by using the multi-scale morphological gradient operation. The approach of region merging is used after toboggan segmentation. Region merging was carried out according to region area and region homogeneity. It was proved that the method was valid and more accurate than other common algorithms of image segmentation.
