A SYNOPTIC ACCOUNT FOR TEXTURE SEGMENTATION: FROM EDGE- TO REGION-BASED MECHANISMS

Abstract

Edge-based energy models predict that texture segmentation occurs at the locations where the output of local filters changes. However, statistical properties of texture-region are also quickly perceived and give an overall representation of texture surface. In this study we analyse different levels of explanation for texture segmentation processes: from the simplest edge-based to region-based accounts.
