abstract = {A simple Markov random field model with a new
implementation scheme is proposed for unsupervised previous termimage
segmentation based on image features. The traditional two-component MRF
model for segmentation requires training data to estimate necessary
model parameters and is thus unsuitable for unsupervised segmentation.
The new implementation scheme solves this problem by introducing a
function-based weighting parameter between the two components. Using
this method, the simple MRF model is able to automatically estimate
model parameters and produce accurate unsupervised segmentation
results. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to
segment various types of images (gray scale, color, texture) and
achieves an improvement over the traditional method.},
