This article explores the application of region growing algorithms for image segmentation. Region growing is a pixel similarity-based segmentation technique that progressively merges similar pixels into coherent regions. Widely used in computer vision and image processing, this approach accurately isolates objects or regions within images, providing a foundation for subsequent analysis and processing. The algorithm's key implementation steps include seed point selection, pixel similarity evaluation, and region merging. In code implementation, developers typically use similarity thresholds and connectivity criteria (4-connected or 8-connected neighborhoods) to control region growth. Through these steps, images can be effectively partitioned into distinct regions for advanced research and practical applications. The algorithm's efficiency makes it particularly suitable for medical imaging and industrial inspection systems where precise boundary detection is crucial.
