Unsupervised multiphase color–texture image segmentation based on variational formulation and multilayer graph

作者：

Highlights：

• A new color texture feature is constructed.

• Multiphase successive active contour model (MSACM) is proposed.

• MSACM can be discretely optimized by multilayer graph.

• The combined energy of local and global is iteratively optimized.

• Performances are assessed through the qualitative and quantitative comparisons.
