Abstract

The present work describes an algorithm for automatic image segmentation using a 'homogeneity' measure and a 'contrast' measure defined on the co-occurrence matrix of the image. The measure of contrast involves the concept of logarithmic response (adaptibility with background intensity) of the human visual system (HVS). A merging algorithm is also introduced in order to remove the undesirable thresholds. Effectiveness of the algorithm and the comparison of its performance with the existing ones are demonstrated for a set of images.
