Segmentation of gray level images into regions of uniform texture is investigated. An unsupervised approach through the use of Kohonen's self organizing map (SOM) and a multilayer version of it, the hierarchical self organizing map (HSOM), is employed to find the regions in an image composed of textures from different classes. For testing, gray level artificial textured images modeled as Markov random fields are used as the input. No parameter estimation is done. The size and the topology of SOM and HSOM are independent from the size of the input image. The segmentation results are very promising. © 1996 IEEE.

Unsupervised texture based image segmentation by simulated annealing using Markov random field and Potts models Goktepe, M; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Yalabik, N; Yalabik, C (1998-01-01) Unsupervised segmentation of images which are composed of various textures is investigated A coarse segmentation is achieved through a hierarchical self organizing map. This initial segmentation result is fed into a simulated annealing algorithm in which region and texture parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood technique. Region geometries are modeled as Potts model while textures are modeled as Markov random fields. Tests are performed an artificial textured images.
Segmentation Driven Object Detection with Fisher Vectors Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Schmid, Cordelia (2013-01-01) We present an object detection system based on the Fisher vector (FV) image representation computed over SIFT and color descriptors. For computational and storage efficiency, we use a recent segmentation-based method to generate class-independent object detection hypotheses, in combination with data compression techniques. Our main contribution is a method to produce tentative object segmentation masks to suppress background clutter in the features. Re-weighting the local image features based on these masks...
Unsupervised segmentation of hyperspectral images using modified phase correlation Ertuerk, Alp; Ertuerk, Sarp (2006-10-01) This letter presents hyperspectral image segmentation based on the phase-correlation measure of subsampled hyperspectral data, which is referred to as modified phase correlation. The hyperspectral spectrum of each pixel is initially subsampled to gain, robustness against noise and spatial variability, and phase correlation is applied to determine spectral similarity. Similar and dissimilar pixels are decided according to the peak value of the phase correlation result to determine pixels that fall into the s...
Utilization of dense depth information for monoview object detection and instance segmentation Çakırgöz, Çağlayan Can; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-10) Object detection aims for detecting objects of certain classes in an image by bounding them in rectangular boxes whereas instance segmentation tries to detect objects in pixel level. Deep learning techniques, which have shown great improvements over the last decade, are utilized in these topics as well, and a significant success is achieved against the traditional methods. Similar improvements can be observed in dense depth estimation which deals with deducing dense information of a scene from a single imag...
REGION-BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION VIA GRAPH CUTS Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01) A graph theoretic color image segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular normalized cuts image segmentation method is improved with modifications on its graph structure. The image is represented by a weighted undirected graph, whose nodes correspond to over-segmented regions, instead of pixels, that decreases the complexity of the overall algorithm. In addition, the link weights between the nodes are calculated through the intensity similarities of the neighboring regions. The irregular distri...
