Image Segmentation based on an Iterative Computation of the Mean Shift Filtering for different values of window sizes

Roberto Rodríguez, Esley Torres, Juan H. Sossa

Abstract


Image segmentation is recognized to be one of the most important steps in most high-level image analysis systems. Its precise functioning highly determines the performance of the entire system. For years the most robust segmentation algorithms have been the iterative methods, which have covered a variety of techniques. In this paper, we have researched the performance of a segmentation algorithm that uses an iterative computation of the mean shift filtering by using different window sizes. All the experimentation was done with standard images. A comparison of the obtained results was carried out with the different window sizes, as for the degree of homogenization of the segmented images as the number of iterations.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
