To obtain the images below, the
original image should be segmented
using only the tier one
segmentation with the display tier
one border option selected.
The software routines that
produce the images use the
following algorithms.
1. Initial Segmenation: The
image is segmented into tier
one regions with edge
detection segmentation.
2. Image Restoration: As a part
of an image restoration
procedure, the color is
swept along steepest slopes
that also demarcate a tier
one regions.
3. Regional Average: The tier
one regions are averaged
into tier one blobs. Then
the tier one blobs are
displayed.
The procedures and images are
intended to aid the setting of the
tier one blob. The images are not
processed by other parts of the
program.
