An improved method for deformable shape-based image segmentation is described. Image regions are merged together and/or split apart, based on their agreement with an a priori distribution on the global deformation parameters for a shape template. Perceptually-motivated criteria are used to determine where/how to split regions, based on the local shape properties of the region group's bounding contour. A globally consistent interpretation is determined in part by the minimum description length principle. Experiments show that model-guided split and merge yields a significant improvement in segmention over a method that uses merging alone.
