We present a new approach for the incorporation of shape information into a segmentation algorithm. Unlike previous approaches to the problem, our method requires no initializatio...
Video segmentation requires the partitioning of a series of images into groups that are both spatially coherent and smooth along the time axis. We formulate segmentation as a Bayes...
The classical morphological segmentation paradigm is based on the watershed transform, constructed by flooding the gradient image seen as a topographic surface. For flooding a to...
Spectral clustering and eigenvector-based methods have become increasingly popular in segmentation and recognition. Although the choice of the pairwise similarity metric (or affin...
Image retrieval based on content from digital libraries, multimedia databases, the Internet, and other sources has been an important problem addressed by several researchers. In t...
