Abstract
A new segmentation algorithm is derived, based on an object-background probability estimate exploiting the experimental fact that the statis tics of local image derivatives show a Laplacian distribution. The obj ects' simply connectedness is included directly into the probability e stimate and leads to an iterative optimization approach that can be im plemented efficiently. This new approach avoids early thresholding, ex plicit edge detection, motion analysis, and grouping.
