In this paper, we propose a segm.eiitatio9i m.cthod of color im.ages with bciiig rid of overseg7n.ciitatioii.Many cniiaeiitional segmentatio9i .methods assign o n e region to each gathering ofpiacls which have Sam.-ilar property. But, these m.ethods teiid to oziersegment b y the optical influences. Besides, they do n o t u s c the edge iriformmtion, therefore tlie edge is riot always sclected to the boundary.In this study, we propose n segm.entntion m.ethod of color im.nges with being rid of oversegm.entatioii. Oar m.ethod uses not only the pizel:9 property brit also the iiiform.ation of regions' contour. It consists of t h e first segmentatiori process and tlie region com.beiiing process, First, the given image is segm.ented in consideration of the edge inJornmtion. Neat, the obtaiiicd regions are combiiied according t o pizcls' liropcrt>/ a,nd vegioiis' contour.
