The main advantage of using this function is its good adaptability to the different types of images to be studied due to the wide range of weight vec- tors that can be cast. Classical segmentation models stand out for their ability to provide a segmentation of the original image very quickly and with low computational burden. However, they do not usually achieve high quality segmentations with a small number of clusters in order to classify the different ele- ments which compose the structure represented in the image. The quality of the segmentation provided by our approach is analysed using different choices of the weight vector in some real instances. More- over, improvements are proposed for the formulations to reduce the computational time needed to solve these problems by taking advantage of the weight vector structure PB ELSEVIER SN 0377-2217 YR 2022 FD 2022 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/26920 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/26920 LA eng NO The authors have been partially supported by projects PID2020-114594GB-{C21, C22}, PID2020-1130 06RB-I0 0, PID2019- 110 018GA-I0 0, MAT2017-87579-R funded by MCIN/AEI/ 10.13039/50110 0 011033 and project NetmeetData Fundacion BBVA convocatoria 2019.
