Perceptual Segmentation of Natural Color Images Using Hierarchical Algorithm

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The purpose of this paper is perceptual segmentation of natural color images containing man-made objects and natural objects. Perceptual segmentation is defined the type of segmentation in which the region of a tree is regarded as one region in contrast to detailed segmentation that considers a tree as many branch regions and leaf regions. We propose the modified hierarchical segmentation algorithm that integrates the $L^*a^*b^*$ components as color features and the statistical geometrical features as texture features by using fuzzy inference. The proposed method is composed of four stages: simple splitting, local merging, global merging and boundary refinement. The comparative experiments with the existing method are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
