Abstract

We present an image segmentation approach which is invariant to affine transformation – the result after rescaling the picture remains almost the same as before. Moreover, the algorithm detects automatically the correct number of groups. We show that the method is capable of discovering general shapes as well as small details by the appropriate choice of only two input parameters.
