A Rate-Distortion-Based Merging Algorithm for Compressed Image Segmentation

Original images are often compressed for the communication applications. In order to avoid the burden of decompressing computations, it is thus desirable to segment images in the compressed domain directly. This paper presents a simple rate-distortion-based scheme to segment images in the JPEG2000 d...
