Summary: | This paper deals with fuzzy statistical imagesegmentation. We introduce a new hierarchicalMarkovian fuzzy hidden field model, which extends to thefuzzy case the classical Pérez and Heitz hard model. Twofuzzy statistical segmentation methods related with themodel proposed are defined in this paper and we show viasimulations that they are competitive with, in some casesthan, the classical Maximum Posterior Mode (MPM)based methods. Furthermore, they are faster, which willshould facilitate extensions to more than two hard classesin future work. In addition, the model proposed isapplicable to the multiscale segmentation andmultiresolution images fusion problems.
