Unsupervised Segmentation using Map-ML Estimation

M. Sorna Selvi, S. Antelin Vijila, M. Mohammed Ashiqa

Abstract


Segmentation is an important problem of Image processing. It has attracted much attention due to its potential value for applications and its theoretical challenges. In this proposed System MAP-ML estimation is used to segment the objects in the images, The Proposed Method contains a Graph cut Algorithm to overcome computation complexity and over segmentation. This is an unsupervised algorithm which automatically segments the given input image into regions according to relevant texture and colors.

Keywords
