Introduction We propose an unsupervised texture image segmentation framework with unknown number of regions, which involves feature extraction and classification in feature space, followed by flooding and merging in spatial domain. The distribution of the features for the different classes are obtained by a block-wise unsupervised voting framework using the blocks grid graph or its minimum spanning tree and the Mallows distance. Experimental results are presented on on the Prague benchmark data set demonstrating the high-performance of the proposed scheme [1].
