Abstract. We propose a novel method for unsupervised class segmentation on a set of images. It alternates between segmenting object instances and learning a class model. The method is based on a segmentation energy defined over all images at the same time, which can be optimized efficiently

facilitated the task of understanding complex sys-tems at cellular and molecular levels in recent years. Segmentation, an important yet dif-ficult problem, is often the first processing step following acquisition. Our team previously demonstrated that a stochastic active contour based algorithm together

Abstract. This work describes a new algorithm for segmentation of handwritten cursive words, based on the following two hypothesis: 1) there exists natural segmentation points (SPs) corresponding to disconnected characters; and 2) the physical SPs between connected characters are located

in practice. The algorithm was implemented in ANSI C, using standard floating-point arithmetic. In addition to Sugihara and Iri’s topology-oriented approach, it is based on a very careful implementation of the numerical computations required, an automatic relaxation of epsilon thresholds, and a multi-level
