We present a rough and an accurate segmentation of nat ural color images using a fuzzy region-growing algorithm.In the proposed met h od, the color diff erence and the color gradient are used as t he pixel features to produce an accu rate segmentation, while t h e localfractal dimension is used as the region feature to yield a rough segmentation in a natu ral color image. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through computer simulations that demonstrate a rough segmentation at the fine-texture regions and an accu rate segmentation at the strong-edge regions simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
