A multiresolution based image segmentation

Abstract

Segmentation is an important topic in computer vision and image processing. In this paper we develop a scheme based on multiresolution for segmentation. The multiresolution based segmentation algorithm first segments the image using a known segmentation algorithm at coarse resolution and uses this information to segment images at finer resolutions. In this paper, we sketch a scheme for a multiresolution segmentation algorithm and demonstrate its validity on some real images and compare its performance with the segmented image obtained working at a single resolution.
