A clustering-based ensemble technique for shape decomposition

Abstract

Ensemble techniques have been very successful in pattern recognition. In this work we investigate ensemble solution for shape decomposition. A clustering-based approach is proposed to determine a final decomposition from an ensemble of input decompositions. A recently published performance evaluation framework consisting of a benchmark database with manual ground truth together with evaluation measures is used to demonstrate the benefit of the proposed ensemble technique. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
