Braids of partitions for the hierarchical representation and segmentation of multimodal images

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a methodology for the hierarchical representation of multimodal images.

• The hierarchical representation relies on the novel concept of braids of partitions.

• We introduce a braid-based method to conduct multimodal image segmentation.

• The segmentation method is based on an energy minimization procedure.

• The proposed approach is validated on different multimodal images.
