Dynamics of the Clusterization Process in an Adaptative Method of Image Segmentation

Abstract

In this paper a new method of automatic image segmentation is presented. In proposed approach a region merging method is applied, where pixels or pixel groups are merged to bigger areas. In the proposed method of the region merging seed settings, segmentation parameter definition, and number of outcoming areas determining can be ommited. Homogeneous clusters (consisting of continuous groups of pixels) are the part of the growth process. The clusters are merged when the homogeneousness condition is fulfilled. The threshold value changes during segmentation process, appropriate to the changeable conditions.
