Unsupervised image segmentation using robust clustering

Unsupervised image segmentation is widely recognized as a difficult and challenging computer vision problem, in which, the fundamental issue is that of determination of the number and boundaries of different regions without a priori knowledge. There are two parts of work in this thesis. In the firs...
