Unsupervised multiscale color image segmentation based on MDL principle
We present an unsupervised multiscale color image segmentation algorithm. The basic idea is to apply mean shift clustering to obtain an over-segmentation and then merge regions at multiple scales to minimize the minimum description length criterion. The performance on the Berkeley segmentation benchmark compares favorably with some existing approaches.
