Herein, we propose a novel multi-layer Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features: Each feature is associated to a so called feature layer, where an MRF model is defined using only the corresponding feature. A special layer is assigned to the combined MRF model. This layer interacts with each feature layer and provides the segmentation based on the combination of different features. The model is quite generic and isn{\textquoteright}t restricted to a particular texture feature. Herein we will test the algorithm using Gabor and MRSAR texture features. Furthermore, the algorithm automatically estimates the number of classes at each layer (there can be different classes at different layers) and the associated model parameters.

Herein, we propose a new Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features. The model has a multi-layer structure: Each feature has its own layer, called feature layer, where an MRF model is defined using only the corresponding feature. A special layer is assigned to the combined MRF model. This layer interacts with each feature layer and provides the segmentation based on the combination of different features. The uniqueness of our algorithm is that it provides both color only and texture only segmentations as well as a segmentation based on combined color and texture features. The number of classes on feature layers is given by the user but it is estimated on the combined layer. {\textcopyright} 2002 IEEE.

An unsupervised color image segmentation algorithm is presented, using a Markov random field (MRF) pixel classification model. We propose a new method to estimate initial mean vectors effectively even if the histogram does not have clearly distinguishable peaks. The only parameter supplied by the user is the number of classes. {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
