Discrete Maps: a Framework for Region Segmentation Algorithms

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Computing Supplement ((COMPUTING,volume 12))

Abstract

In this paper, we present different recent segmentation works based on discrete maps. Discrete maps provide an efficient framework for region based segmentation methods. A discrete map is a mixed model combining an encoding of the discrete boundaries of the image regions with topological graphs which represent the topology of the image.
