Abstract
Multi-scale segmentation is one of the most important methods for object-oriented classification. The selection of the optimal scale segmentation parameters has become difficult and hot in current research certainly. This paper takes aerial images and IKONOS images as the experimental objects and proposes an automatic selection method of optimal segmentation scale for high resolution remote sensing image based on multi-scale MRF model. This method introduces the region feature into the object, and obtains the hierarchical structure of the image from the bottom up through the message propagation between the objects. Finally, the optimal segmentation scale is obtained automatically by computing the marginal probabilities of the objects in each scale image. Experimental results show that this method can effectively avoid the subjectivity and sidedness of the segmentation process, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of high resolution segmentation.
