Abstract
A new approach is proposed for finding optimal cuts in hierarchies of partitions by energy minimization. It rests on the notion of h-increasingness, allows to find best(optimal) cuts in one pass, and to obtain nice ”climbing” scale space operators. The ways to construct h-increasing energies, and to combine them are studied, and illustrated by two examples on color and on textures.
