Abstract
Method and system is disclosed for image segmentation. The method includes acquiring a digital image, constructing a directed graph from the digital image, calculating a plurality of cost functions, constructing an electrical network based upon the constructed directed graph and the plurality of calculated cost functions, simulating the electrical network using fixed-point linearization, and thresholding the voltages in the simulated electrical network to produce image segmentation. Simulation may be executed in parallel to achieve desirable computational efficiencies.
