abstract = {Piecewise functional approximation of picture is shown to be a useful tool for primitive and segment extraction. We present an algorithm based on a hierarchical segmentation structure. Functional approximation criteria are employed to direct the sequential merging of segments. A criteria related to the mean squared error is used to guide the merging. The algorithm yields solutions to the picture segmentation and approximation problem. Techniques described have been applied to a LANDSAT picture of an agricultural region (32 multiplied by 32 pixels).},
