TL;DR
A new region growing method for finding the boundaries of blobs is presented, which uses two novel discontinuity measures, average contrast and peripheral contrast, to control the growing process.
Abstract
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.
