This paper proposes a new multiresolution technique for color image representation and segmentation, particularly suited for noisy images. A decimated wavelet transform is initially applied to each color channel of the image, and a multiresolution representation is built up to a selected scale 2^J. Color gradient magnitudes are computed at the coarsest scale 2^J, and an adaptive threshold is used to remove spurious responses. An initial segmentation is then computed by applying the watershed transform to thresholded magnitudes, and this initial segmentation is projected to finer resolutions using inverse wavelet transforms and contour refinements, until the full resolution 2^0 is achieved. Finally, a region merging technique is applied to combine adjacent regions with similar colors. Experimental results show that the proposed technique produces results comparable to other state-of-the-art algorithms for natural images, and performs better for noisy images.
