A Hybrid Approach towards Segmentation of Range Images.
Alan Lim, Eam Khwang Teoh, D.P. Mital · 1992
This paper presents a technique for the segmentation of range images. It tends to be a hybrid approach that combines edge detection and region growing techniques toward accomplishing the task of segmentation. The surface coherency property of range data provided an important attribute,which enabled the improvision of extrinsic knowledge regarding the types of surface primitives existing within an image. The cross-breeding approach produces a segmentation map and an edge map. Edges detected by such a method possessed good localisation property. The incorporation of region growing process eliminates internal micro edges and produces a segmentation map. These two maps would undoubtedly be of great value to the higher level recognition process.
