Region Extraction Using Convergent Evidence.
Abstract
Scenes consisting of spatially compact regions which contrast with their surrounds can be segmented by extracting connected components of above-threshold values whose borders match the positions of edges. Edge/border coincidence thus defines a kind of optimal thresholding, since for any object we can choose the threshold which maximizes the coincidence. This illustrates how the redundancy of different information sources aids segmentation. (Author)
