Title
Unsupervised image segmentation using comparative reasoning and random walks
Abstract
An image segmentation method that does not need training data can provide faster results than methods using complex optimization. Motivated by this idea, we present an unsupervised image segmentation method that combines comparative reasoning with graph-based clustering. Comparative reasoning enables fast similarity search on the image, and these search results are used with the Random Walks algorithm, which is used for clustering and calculating class probabilities. Our method is validated on diverse image modalities such as biomedical images, natural images and texture images. The performance of the method is measured through cluster purity based on available ground truth. Our results are compared to existing segmentation methods using Global Consistency Error scores.
