Abstract

In this paper a new image segmentation technique is presented combining region growing, edge detection, and a new edge preserving smoothing algorithm. The combined method helps to avoid characteristic segmentation errors which occur when using region growing or edge detection separately. Boundary smoothing is also introduced to ensure more realistic region boundaries. The algorithm can directly be extended for 3-dimensional data. Experimental results are shown to demonstrate the validity of the algorithm.
