Selection of Segment Similarity Measures for Hierarchical Picture Segmentation

نویسنده

  • Jean-Marie Beaulieu
چکیده

The problem of defining appropriate segment similarity measures for picture segmentation is examined. In agglomerative hierarchical segmentation, two segments are compared and merged if found similar. The proposed Hierarchical Step-Wise Optimization (HSWO) algorithm finds and then merges the two most similar segments, on a step-by-step basis. By considering picture segmentation as a piece-wise picture approximation problem, the similarity measure (or the step-wise criterion)

SOME SIMILARITY MEASURES FOR PICTURE FUZZY SETS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

In this work, we shall present some novel process to measure the similarity between picture fuzzy sets. Firstly, we adopt the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and picture fuzzy sets. Secondly, we develop some similarity measures between picture fuzzy sets, such as, cosine similarity measure, weighted cosine similarity measure, set-theoretic similar...

Strategy-aligned fuzzy approach for market segment evaluation and selection: a modular decision support system by dynamic network process (DNP)

In competitive markets, market segmentation is a critical point of business, and it can be used as a generic strategy. In each segment, strategies lead companies to their targets; thus, segment selection and the application of the appropriate strategies over time are very important to achieve successful business. This paper aims to model a strategy-aligned fuzzy approach to market segment ev...

The Use of Fast Marching Methods in Medical Image Segmentation

Despite several decades of research into segmentation techniques, unsupervised medical image segmentation is barely usable in a clinical context, and still at vast user time expense. The Fast Marching method is an established segmentation technique for generic spaces, which typically requires manual initialisation. This paper illustrates unsupervised organ segmentation through the use of a nove...

Speech acoustic unit segmentation using hierarchical dirichlet processes

Speech recognition systems have historically used contextdependent phones as acoustic units because these units allow linguistic information, such as a pronunciation lexicon, to be leveraged. However, when dealing with a new language for which minimal linguistic resources exist, it is desirable to automatically discover acoustic units. The process of discovering acoustic units usually consists ...
