Title
Considerations regarding the minimum spanning tree pyramid segmentation method
Abstract
The minimum spanning tree pyramid is a hierarchical image segmentation method. We study it’s properties and the regions it produces. We show the similarity with the watershed transform and present the method in a domain in which this is easy to understand. For this, a short overview of both methods is given. Catchment basins are contracted before their neighbouring local maximas. Smooth regions surrounded by borders with maximal local variation are selected. The maximum respectively minimum variation on the border of a region is larger than the maximum respectively minimum variation inside the region.
