Unsupervised segmentation evaluation: an edge based method

Unsupervised segmentation evaluation method quantifies the quality of segmentation without the reference segmentation or user assistance. Although some methods have been proposed to statistically analyze the pixel values, these methods are not sensitive enough to provide a metric of segmentation quality. This paper uses the image edge, a more robust feature, to measure the quality of segmentation. An edge-based segmentation evaluation method is introduced in this paper, which can be applied to
