Appendix B
In the second step of the image segmentation process, we limit the energy to the restricted
domain (the region inside the red curve in Figure 7):
The corresponding functions ( f1 , f 2 ) that minimize F ( f1 , f 2 , ) satisfy
f 1 ( x)
K ( x) [ H ( ( x))H ( 1 ( x))I ( x)]
K ( x) H ( ( x))H ( 1 ( x))
f 2 ( x)
K ( x) [1 H ( ( x))H ( 1 ( x))I ( x)]
K ( x) [1 H ( ( x))H ( 1 ( x))]
