ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for segmenting a first region and a second region. A method for defining a boundary separating a first region and a second region of a digital image includes determining using a learning machine, based on one or more of the color arrangements, which pixels of the image satisfy criteria for classification as associated with the first region and which pixels of the image satisfy criteria for classification as associated with the second region. The digital image includes one or more color arrangements characteristic of the first region and one or more color arrangements characteristic of the second region. The method includes identifying pixels of the image that are determined not to satisfy the criteria for classification as being associated either with the first region or the second region. The method includes decontaminating the identified pixels to define a boundary between the first and second regions.
