Abstract
A method and apparatus for unsupervised segmentation of an image is provided. In some exemplary embodiments, the method adjusts a segmentation parameter of a traditional graph-based segmentation algorithm along the image to generate a segmentation map that is perceptually reasonable for a human observer. In some embodiments, the method reduces over-segmentation and under-segmentation of the image.
