TLDR
An axiomatic definition for the notion of "segmentation" in image processing is proposed, which is based on the idea of a maximal partition and a key theorem links segmentation with connection, on the one hand, and with connective criteria on the other one.Abstract:
Firstly, the paper proposes an axiomatic definition for the notion of "segmentation" in image processing, which is based on the idea of a maximal partition. Then a key theorem links segmentation with connection, on the one hand, and with connective criteria on the other one. A series of lattice properties are then developed. In a last part, two examples of segmentations are proposed.read more

TL;DR: A new automated method based on support vector machine (SVM) classification of whole-brain anatomical magnetic resonance imaging to discriminate between patients with Alzheimer's disease and elderly control subjects has the potential in distinguishing patients with AD from elderly controls and therefore may help in the early diagnosis of AD.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, over and above a nonspecific role in movement anticipation and salience, the putamen plays a crucial role in computations for choice that involves effort costs.

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection
TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.
Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations
TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography
TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.

Snakes : Active Contour Models
TL;DR: This work uses snakes for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest, and uses scale-space continuation to enlarge the capture region surrounding a feature.
