FIGURE 9.1 Comparison of region merging segmentation results using scale-space representations and advanced edge features. Four scales from various steps of the proposed
methodology are presented. (a,f,k,p) Initial remote sensing aerial image with spatial resolution
of 5 cm along with three Gaussian scales; (b,g,l,q) scale-space representation at various selected
scales; (c,h,m,r) initial image objects using MSEG algorithm applied to scale-space representation; (d,i,n,s) advanced edge and line features used in the following step: (e,j,o,t) results of
edge-enhanced MSEG algorithm proposed in this research.
