Abstract
An original image segmentation based on a Markovian modeling of a set of four parameters is presented. The application performed demonstrates the strength of an algorithm using texture analysis of natural scenes. A splitting limit is obtained which is going to become the basic primitive in order to hook up a mower robot. To obtain a real time application we also present a simple parallelization of the algorithm and a control servoing.
