“…The number of pixels incorrectly classified as edge pixels or the number of incorrectly segmented pixels, their position and the number of regions are among the different discrepancy measures proposed in the literature (Baddeley, 1992;Goumeidane et al, 2003;Heyden, 1989;Huang and Dom, 1995;Lewis and Brown, 2001;Lim and Lee, 1990;Odet et al, 2002;Pratt, 1978;Rees et al, 2002;RomanRoldan et al, 2001;Strasters and Gerbrands, 1991;Weszka and Rosenfeld, 1978;Yasnoff and Bacus, 1984;Yasnoff et al, 1977). Additional discrepancy measures based on region features such as area, eccentricity or perimeter, among others, have also been considered (Zhang, 1995;Gerbrands, 1992, 1994).…”
