Optimum Graph Cuts for Pruning Binary Partition Trees of Polarimetric SAR Images
This paper investigates several optimum graph-cut techniques for pruning binary partition trees (BPTs) and their usefulness for the low-level processing of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. BPTs group pixels to form homogeneous regions, which are hierarchically structured by inclusion in a binary tree. They provide multiple resolutions of description and easy access to subsets of regions. Once constructed, BPTs can be used for a large number of applications. Many of these applications consist in populating the tree with a specific feature and in applying a graph cut called pruning to extract a partition of the space. In this paper, different pruning examples involving the optimization of a global criterion are discussed and analyzed in the context of PolSAR images for segmentation. Through the objective evaluation of the resulting partitions by means of precision-and-recall-for-boundaries curves, the best pruning technique is identified, and the influence of the tree construction on the performances is assessed.
