Picture Segmentation by a Tree Traversal Algorithm,
JACM(23), No. 2, April 1976, pp. 368-388. Segmentation, Split and Merge. The standard split and merge basic reference. The basics are, split the image into regular shapes (quarters), if it is non-uniform recursively split the subimages. When no more splits, merge adjacent similar subimages, and merge those remaining that are too small. BibRef 7604

IEEE DOI Segmentation, Multi-Level. This method combines the regular splitting, and the quad-tree data structure of the split and merge techniques with the general threshold based region extraction method of the recursive splitting techniques. The main problem being addressed is how to merge the regions generated in one branch of the quad-tree with those in spatially adjacent branches of the tree. This requires an analysis of regions that touch the boundaries of the quad-tree nodes to determine how they should extend or connect to regions in the other nodes. BibRef
