Summary:
This paper proposes a simplified region-based coupled Markov Random Field (MRF) model for coarse image region segmentation. We previously simplified the region-based MRF model with hidden phase variables for the same purpose, and proposed its VLSI implementation. However, the model was still complicated and the layout area of its VLSI circuit was still large. In this paper, we propose a further simplified model by using piecewise binary functions, and demonstrate its superior performance to our previous model by numerical simulations.
