Data segmentation and model selection for computer vision

About this book

"This unique interdisciplinary book contains research material from two relatively distinct communities: statisticians working on robust techniques for model fitting and model selection; and engineers and computer scientists working on problems involving data segmentation.". "For statisticians, the book contains a convenient summary of recent work in their community and provides them with an excellent primer on the problems of data segmentation within a machine-vision context. For engineers and computer scientists, the book provides both a convenient entry into current research in data segmentation and a synopsis of the main statistical ideas relevant to a study on the subject within a statistical context.". "The book presents material at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in statistics, computer science, and computer engineering. It can also serve as an up-to-date resource for a seminar series at the postgraduate level."--BOOK JACKET.
