Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel and efficient method for detecting distribution changes in a picture. We design an approach based on the parametric change-points detection problem and apply it into region detection problem. The number of change-points is determined by the Schwartz information criterion and the location of the change-points is estimated via a modified pruned exact linear time algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a new merging method to merge the regions in the same distribution after finishing the estimation of change-points. Under some mild conditions, we prove our estimation of change-points and regions is consistent. In the simulation studies, the new method performs well in both estimation and computation time compared to other method.
