A connectionist approach for color image segmentation

TLDR
A connectionist clustering strategy is presented for segmenting color images using the local peaks in the 3-D red, green, blue histogram as prototypes and the prototype selection method is faster than existing clustering neural networks.
Abstract
A connectionist clustering strategy is presented for segmenting color images. First the local peaks in the 3-D red, green, blue histogram are located. Then using these as the prototypes other patterns are classified into one of them. The prototype selection method employs only neuronal dynamics and therefore is faster than existing clustering neural networks. The classification network takes into account the distribution of the data and hence is less prone to misclassifications. Experimental results obtained by applying the network for segmenting one color image are presented. >

Nonlinear neural networks: Principles, mechanisms, and architectures

TL;DR: An historical discussion is provided of the intellectual trends that caused nineteenth century interdisciplinary studies of physics and psychobiology by leading scientists such as Helmholtz, Maxwell, and Mach to splinter into separate twentieth-century scientific movements.

Robust clustering with applications in computer vision

TL;DR: A clustering algorithm based on the minimum volume ellipsoid (MVE) robust estimator is proposed that was successfully applied to several computer vision problems formulated in the feature space paradigm: multithresholding of gray level images, analysis of the Hough space, and range image segmentation.
