Abstract
In this paper, we present an algorithm for optimal image segmentation using the Voronoi diagram and the Delaunay graph. The Voronoi diagram is a powerful tool for shape description and image segmentation. The Delaunay graph is used to describe the neighborhood of each Voronoi region. This graph is used to optimize the image segmentation. The validity of our approach is demonstrated by examples.
