Popis: After a brief review and description of the existing graph pyramids used for image processing, particularly stochastic (SP) and adaptive (AP) pyramids, we propose a new strategy to improve the final segmentation provided by such methods. The idea is to translate the image to be segmented into a minimal spanning tree (MST) before building the pyramid. It is shown that the use of an MST in this process improves the results of the pyramidal segmentation. Some experimental results are presented on synthetic and actual images. Finally, a filtering pyramidal algorithm is proposed, using the properties of the minimal spanning tree.
