상향식 영상분할 구조에서의 초기 영상분할을 위한 효율적인 마커 추출 알고리즘

In this paper, we propose an efficient marker extraction algorithm for initial image segmentation in a bottom-up segmentation scheme. The proposed algorithm generates dense markers in visually complex areas and coarse markers in visually uniform areas. which conforms to the human perceptual system. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better subjective quality for fine initial image segmentation.
