An efficient boundary following algorithm for coding segmented images is presented. The
segmented images are obtained by a graph theoretic image segmentation algorithm which …

In this paper, an image segmentation algorithm based upon hierarchical step-wise
optimization with a composite merge criterion is presented. In hierarchical step-wise …

Piecewise functional approximation of picture is shown to be a useful tool for the
segmentation of range (3D) image. A hierarchical step-wise optimization algorithm is …

The problem of defining appropriate segment similarity measures for picture segmentation is
exmained. In agglomerative hierqarchical segmentation, two segments are coamapared and …
