A remark on the regularity of a segmented image (Q1900633)

The author considers the Mumford and Shah functional \[ J(u,K)= \iint_{\Omega\setminus K}(|\nabla u|^2+|u-g|^2)dx+ {\mathcal H}^1(K), \] where \(\Omega \setminus \mathbb{R}^2\) is a rectangle, \({\mathcal H}^1\) is the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure, \(g\in L^\infty (\Omega)\), \(K\) is a closed set and \(u\in C^1(\Omega\setminus K)\). The existence of a minimizing pair for \(J\) was proved (in a more general case) in \textit{E. DeGiorgi}, \textit{M. Carriero} and \textit{A. Leaci} [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 108, No. 3, 195-218 (1989; Zbl 0682.49002)] and in \textit{G. Dal Maso}, \textit{J. M. Morel} and \textit{S. Solimini} [Acta Math. 168, No. 1-2, 89-151 (1992; Zbl 0772.49006)]. If \((u,K)\) is a minimizing pair, the author proves the uniform projection property of the closed set \(K\) arguing on properties of Carleson sets. The same property was introduced by \textit{F. Dibos} and \textit{G. Koepfler} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 313, No. 9, 573-578 (1991; Zbl 0779.49004)] and proved in \textit{F. Dibos} [J. Math. Pure Appl., IX. Ser. 73, No. 4, 389-412 (1994)] in a different manner.
