Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of segmenting data comprising: accepting input data representing a plurality of elements for segmentation; applying each of a plurality of computer-implemented segmentation procedures to the input data to determine respective segmentations of the input data, wherein each segmentation characterizes membership of pairs of elements in common segments of the input data wherein the plurality of segmentation procedures comprises: a piecewise projection profile based approach; a directional filter based approach; a filter bank and graph segmentation approach; and a baseline detection approach; accepting segmentation model data characterizing joint segmentation results of the plurality of segmentation procedures; combining the segmentation model data and the segmentations to determine, for each of a plurality of pairs of the elements, a factor characterizing a cost of separating the elements in different segments; and processing the factors to determine a partition of the elements, the partition characterizing a segmentation of the input data.
