Unsupervised multistage segmentation using Markov random field and maximum entropy principle
(1): Dept. of Industrial Engineering, Kyung Won University, Seongnam, South Korea ABSTRACTA multistage algorithm which makes use of spatial contextual information in a hierarchical clustering procedure has been developed for unsupervised image segmentation. A Markov random field model is employed to enforce local spatial smoothness, while the maximum entropy principle is utilized to quantify global smoothness in the image processing. A multiwindow approach implemented in a pyramid-like data structure which uses a boundary blocking operation is employed to increase computational efficiency. |
