A Semantic Region Growing Approach in Image Segmentation and Annotation
First International Workshop on Semantic Web Annotations for Multimedia (SWAMM), Edinburgh, Scotland, 22 May 2006
ABSTRACT
In this position paper we examine the limitation of region growing segmentation techniques to extract semantically meaningful objects from an image. We propose a region growing algorithm that performs on a semantic level, driven by the knowledge of what each region represents at every iteration step of the merging process. This approach utilizes simultaneous segmentation and labeling of regions leading to automatic image annotation.
