Region growing: a new approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new region growing method for finding the boundaries of blobs is presented. A unique feature of the method is that at each step, at most one pixel exhibits the required properties to join the region. The method uses two novel discontinuity measures, average contrast and peripheral contrast, to control the growing process.

New Approach for 2D Image Segmentation
This paper presents a novel segmentation approach based on combining edge detection and region growing methods. The proposed algorithm starts by applying edge detection method to given images. Then, the region growing is selected a pixel on boundaries as an initial seed. The seed is grown by merging neighbouring pixels whose properties are most similar to the premerged region. These new pixels ...
متن کاملSpatial variability of forest growing stock using geostatistics in the Caspian region of Iran
Estimating the amount of variation due to spatial dependence at different scales provides a basis for designing effective experiments. Accurate knowledge of spatial structures is needed to inform silvicultural guidelines and management decisions for long term sustainability of forests. Furthermore, geostatistics is a useful tool to describe and draw map the spatial variability and estimation o...
متن کاملA Trust-region Method using Extended Nonmonotone Technique for Unconstrained Optimization
In this paper, we present a nonmonotone trust-region algorithm for unconstrained optimization. We first introduce a variant of the nonmonotone strategy proposed by Ahookhosh and Amini cite{AhA 01} and incorporate it into the trust-region framework to construct a more efficient approach. Our new nonmonotone strategy combines the current function value with the maximum function values in some pri...
متن کاملA Concurrent Region Growing Algorithm Guided by Circumscribed Contours
Image segmentation of natural scenes constitutes a major problem in Machine Vision. This paper presents a new proposal for the image segmentation problem which has been based on the integration of edge and region information. This approach begins by detecting the main contours of the scene which are later used to guide a concurrent set of growing processes. A previous analysis of the seed pixel...
متن کاملFuzzy colour distance applied to region growing in image processing
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 cr...
