Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new Rnk segmentation algorithm based on N-cut criterion, which is more reasonable than common segmentation criteria. The algorithm can improve the existing segmentation by changing the vertex pairs of N-cut values continuously, and finally get the optimal segmentation. A hashing technique is proposed to improve the efficiency of finding the optimal exchange vertex pairs. When the graph is dense matrix, the improvement effect is especially obvious. The experimental results of random graph segmentation show that the proposed algorithm is more reasonable and faster than the traditional KL algorithm.
