Conceptualization of seeded region growing by pixels aggregation. Part 2: how to localize a final partition invariant about the seeded region initialisation order (0806.3887v1)

Abstract: In the previous paper, we have conceptualized the localization and the organization of seeded region growing by pixels aggregation (SRGPA) but we do not give the issue when there is a collision between two distinct regions during the growing process. In this paper, we propose two implementations to manage two classical growing processes: one without a boundary region region to divide the other regions and another with. Unfortunately, as noticed by Mehnert and Jakway (1997), this partition depends on the seeded region initialisation order (SRIO). We propose a growing process, invariant about SRIO such as the boundary region is the set of ambiguous pixels.
