ABSTRACT:
A method partitions an image into segments. The image includes pixel points. A set of base points is selected in the image. A wavefront is initialized and emitted from each base point. Each wavefront is propagated according to a speed function until a termination condition is satisfied to determine a corresponding final wavefront. The image is then segmented according to each final wavefront.
