AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE IMAGE SEGMENTATION INTERACTIVE TOOL

Dorit S. Hochbaum

2009

Abstract

This paper describes a utilization of a very efficient polynomial time algorithm, discovered by Hochbaum (2001), for segmentation tool through Markov Random Fields. The tool allows flexible choice of input parameters, controlling the output within an interactive tool with dynamic features and easily modified parameters.
