TL;DR
A new simple and computationally efficient approach to image segmentation via recursive region splitting and merging is presented, based on a generalization of a two-class gradient relaxation method.
Abstract
A new simple and computationally efficient approach to image segmentation via recursive region splitting and merging is presented. Unlike other techniques the criterion for splitting is based on a generalization of a two-class gradient relaxation method and merging uses a test for mean gray level equivalency for adjacent regions. The technique is illustrated by providing results for both synthetic and natural scenes.

The proposed tree distance is a more appropriate measurement of structural defonnation than the tree distance measure in terms of the number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions of tree nodes, as defined in previous studies.

An image segmentation algorithm based on histogram clustering and probabilistic relaxation labeling is explored and a potential solution is shown to be obtainable by using orientation dependent compatibility coefficients and localizing the scope of the algorithm to small subimages followed by a merging of the segmented subimages.
Shape Matching and Image Segmentation Using Stochastic Labeling

These techniques have been applied to two-dimensional shapes represented by polygons and the power of the techniques is demonstrated by the examples taken from synthetic, aerial, industrial and microscope images, where the matching is done after using the actual segmentation methods.

The use of gray scale together with the edge information present in the image is considered to obtain more precise segmentation of the target than obtained by using gray scale or edge information alone.
