Fuzzy colour distance applied to region growing in image processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, a new approach to region growing problem is presented. The region growing procedure is modified in order to apply a fuzzy knowledge based system to evaluate the distance between a pixel and the region. This fuzzy colour distance is based on a set of rules that evaluate the three distance components (R, G, B) jointly. The results presented show a improvement with the traditional crisp distance.

Segmentation into Fuzzy Regions Using Topographic Distance
This paper exposes an algorithm which leads to a fuzzy segmentation. This algorithm performs, as in the watershed method, a progressive flood of the gradient image from pixels of lowest gradients. It uses a new distance, called topographic distance. Any local minimum of the gradient norm image constitutes a seed for the region growing, avoiding the use of a marker image. These seeds constitute ...
