Abstract
We present a class of region growing algorithmsbased on an analogy to a mass suspended in a field offorces. The mass represents the growing region, andthe field represents the degree of concordance betweenlocal pixel values and the color characteristics of theregion. The algorithms are particularly well suited tosystems that are looking for specific simply-connectedshapes in local areas of interest, for example, arectangle of unknown size, elongation, or orientation.Comparing...
