Title
Region-Boundary Cooperative Image Segmentation Based on Active Regions
Abstract
An unsupervised approach to image segmentation which fuses different sources of information is presented. The proposed approach takes advantage of the combined use of 3 different strategies: an appropriated placement, the control of decision criterion, and the results refinement. The new algorithm uses the boundary information to initialize a set of active regions which compete for the pixels in order to segment the whole image. The method is implemented on a multiresolution representation which ensures noise robustness as well as computation efficiency. The accuracy of the segmentation results has been proven through an objective comparative evaluation of the method.
