Abstract

A region growing process is described, suitable for an initial, syntactic overview of a visual scene. The process is designed to function on scenes where nonuniform surfaces discourage absolute thresholding techniques. Region segments are repeatedly merged with their most similar neighbors. The resulting tree of regions is not a definitive parsing of the scene, but does provide regions of interest for further processing.
