Abstract
A method for unsupervised image segmentation based on a background likelihood estimation is described herein. The method includes calculating a distance for each pixel in an input image and transforming each distance into a probability of the distance of belonging to a background of an input image or a foreground of the input image. The method also includes transforming each probability into a log likelihood value to form a unary term and minimizing an energy function including the unary term to obtain a set of foreground labels and a set of background labels.
