Abstract(s)

Coloured regions can be segregated from each other by using colour-opponent mechanisms, colour contrast, saturation and luminance. Here we address segmentation by using end-stopped cells tuned to colour instead of to colour contrast. Colour information is coded in separate channels. By using multi-scale cortical endstopped cells tuned to colour, keypoint information in all channels is coded and mapped by multi-scale peaks. Unsupervised segmentation is achieved by analysing the branches of these peaks, which yields the best-fitting image regions. Copyright © 2014 SCITEPRESS.
