A Variational Representation for Efficient Noisy Segmentation
In this paper we focus on a novel technique
VRENS, (Variational Representation for Efficient Noisy Segmentation)
to segment images (i.e. containg also textures) under noise.
It is based on a hierarchical representation obtained by a combination
of the classical weak membrane and a simpler region
competition method. VRENS seems to be an interesting algorithm
because of its robustness to added gaussian noise along with a
low computational cost.
