Image segmentation is a critical and important step in (GEographic) Object-Based Image
Analysis (GEOBIA or OBIA). The final feature extraction and classification in OBIA is highly …

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality for males and females.
Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the primary treatment modalities for lung cancer. While …

Most face databases have been created under controlled conditions to facilitate the study of
specific parameters on the face recognition problem. These parameters include such …

We present a novel statistical and variational approach to image segmentation based on a
new algorithm, named region competition. This algorithm is derived by minimizing a …

A hybrid multidimensional image segmentation algorithm is proposed, which combines
edge and region-based techniques through the morphological algorithm of watersheds. An …

Background Three main ingredients of action research are visual features, machine learning
methodology, and datasets. Recent years have witnessed a tremendous increase in …

A general technique for the recovery of significant image features is presented. The
technique is based on the mean shift algorithm, a simple nonparametric procedure for …

This book contains both a synthesis and mathematical analysis of a wide set of algorithms
and theories whose aim is the automatic segmen tation of digital images as well as the …

With the growing research on image segmentation, it has become important to categorise
the research outcomes and provide readers with an overview of the existing segmentation …

The introduction describes this book as three separate books. The first is the overview,
composed of the figures and their captions (which are long and detailed); the second is the …
