Abstract

In these recent years, kernel methods have gained a considerable interest in many areas of machine learning. This work investigates the ability of kernel clustering methods to deal with one of the meaningful problem of computer vision namely image segmentation task. In this context, we propose a novel kernel method based on an Ellipsoidal Support Vector Data Description ESVDD. Experiments conducted on a selected synthetic data sets and on Berkeley image segmentation benchmark show that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art kernel methods.
