About this technology

Overview

Image segmentation is the partitioning of an image into related sections or regions. For remotely sensed images of the Earth, an example is a map that divides the image into areas labeled by distinct Earth surface covers such as water, snow, and types of natural vegetation. A key problem encountered with RHSeg is that the image segmentation results often exhibit artifacts caused by the recursive subdivision of the image.
