One dimensional sieve introduction

Return to MSERs and extrema

1D Signals

Matlab function IllustrateSIV_1 illustrates how MSERs (maximally stable extremal regions) and sieves are related. We start with one dimensional signals before moving to two dimensional images and three dimensional volumes.

Consider a signal, <math>X</math> X=getData('PULSES3WIDE') >blue X=0 5 5 0 0 1 1 4 3 3 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 3 2 0 0 0 6 0 0

<math>X</math> has three one-sample-wide maxima (<math>M^1_8</math> , <math>M^1_{24}</math> , <math>M^1_{29}</math> ), two two-sample-wide maxima (<math>M^2_{14}</math> , <math>M^2_{21}</math>) some of which, when removed, will persist as larger scale maxima, e.g. <math>M^1_{24}</math> will become two samples wide as the peak is clipped off.
