Abstract
In this paper we present a study of evaluation measures that enable the quantification of the quality of an image segmentation result. Despite significant advances in image segmentation techniques, evaluation of these techniques thus far has been largely subjective. Typically, the effectiveness of a new algorithm is demonstrated only by the presentation of a few segmented images and is otherwise left to subjective evaluation by the reader. Such an evaluation criterion can be useful for different applications: the comparison of segmentation results, the automatic choice of the best fitted parameters of a segmentation method for a given image, or the definition of new segmentation methods by optimization. We first present the state of art of distance evaluation measures, and then, we compare several evaluation criteria.

Abstract
This paper describes an approach for integrating motion estimation and region clustering techniques with the purpose of obtaining precise multiple motion segmentation. Motivated by the good results obtained in static segmentation we propose a hybrid approach where motion segmentation is achieved within a region-based clustering approach taken the initial result of a spatial pre-segmentation and extended to include motion information. Motion vectors are first estimated with a multiscale variational method applied directly over the input images and then refined by incorporating segmentation results into a region-based warping scheme. The complete algorithm facilitates obtaining spatially continuous segmentation maps which are closely related to actual object boundaries. A comparative study is made with some of the best known motion segmentation algorithms.
