Graph-Based image segmentation with bag-of-pixels

Abstract

Image segmentation can help us with a better understanding of the image content, and thus plays an important role in many fields of image processing including image retrieval, object recog nition and image compression. We propose a novel method based on an efficient Graph-Based segmentation after analyzing its ir rationalities. The proposed method with bag-of-pixels is sim ple and effective. In the evaluation using a large public image database that contains a lot of natural images, our method out performs the efficient graph-based segmentation method, yields better segmentation results and shortens the running time.
