Orlando J. Hernandez, Alireza Khotanzad

• This paper describes a color texture-based image segmentation system. The color texture information is obtained via modeling with the Multispectral Simultaneous Auto Regressive (MSAR) random field model. The general color content characterized by ratios of sample color means is also used. The image is segmented into regions of uniform color texture using an unsupervised histogram clustering approach that utilizes the combination of MSAR and color features. The performance of the system is tested on two databases containing synthetic mosaics of natural textures and natural scenes, respectively
