Abstract

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
