Abstract

Region growing is an iterative process by which regions are merged starting from individual pixels or initial segmentation and grow iteratively until every pixel is processed. Region is grown from the seed pixel by adding in neighbouring pixels that are similar, increasing the size of the region. In this paper, the main aim is to study the Region growing approaches for image segmentation.
