Dynamic segmentation for image information mining
Information mining systems typically do not carry out image segmentation because a single algorithm could never perform well on the wide variety of sources and user applications encountered in practice. On the other hand, a large number of tools have been proposed in the literature that handle specific segmentation tasks very well. Dynamic segmentation is a possible solution, where the image is split recursively, in a hierarchical fashion, and different tools are used at each step to address specific segmentation tasks. In this work, the segmentation of a high-resolution test image is used as a running example and as a proof of concept of the potential of this approach.
