Abstract

Motivated from the image segmentation problem, we consider the problem of finding the maximum weight region with a shape decomposable into elementary shapes in n 脳n pixel grid where each pixel has a real valued weight. We give efficient algorithms for several interesting cases. This shows string constrast to the NP-hardness results to find the maximum weight union for the corresponding cases.
