Color image segmentation using mean shift filtering and wavelet frames
Özet
This paper describes a new color image segmentation method based on low-level features including color and texture. The mean-shift algorithm with color and spatial information in color image segmentation is in general successful, however, in some cases, the color and spatial information are not sufficient for superior segmentation. Recently, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has become a popular approach for texture feature extraction. The proposed method uses wavelet frames that provide translation invariant texture analysis. The method also integrates an additional texture feature to the traditional mean shift segmentation algorithm with color and spatial space. Experimental results show that the algorithm gives satisfactory results. © 2005 IEEE.
