Region growing — is one of the simplest region based image segmentation methods and it can also be classified as one of the pixel based image segmentations because it involves the selection of initial seed points.This approach to segmentation examines the… … Wikipedia
VEGAS algorithm — The VEGAS algorithm, due to G. P. Lepage, is a method for reducing error in the Monte Carlo simulation by using a known or approximate probability distribution function to concentrate the search in those areas of the graph that make the greatest… … Wikipedia
Segmentation (image processing) — In computer vision, segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple regions (sets of pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more… … Wikipedia
Monte Carlo integration — An illustration of Monte Carlo integration. In this example, the domain D is the inner circle and the domain E is the square. Because the square s area can be easily calculated, the area of the circle can be estimated by the ratio (0.8) of the… … Wikipedia
Pulse-coupled networks — or Pulse Coupled Neural Networks (PCNNs) are neural models proposed by modeling a cat’s visual cortex and developed for high performance biomimetic image processing. In 1989, Eckhorn introduced a neural model to emulate the mechanism of cat’s… … Wikipedia
