Abstract

A kind of self-adaptive image segmentation algorithm is introduced in this paper, and of which the main frame is based on Graph Structure. Two contributions have been made in our work. First, super-pixels act as the graph nodes for computational efficiency, at the same time, more local features could be abstracted from the pre-segmented image. Second, region size is estimated during the process to reduce interaction between human and computer. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved method is unsupervised and could give satisfactory segmentation.
