9.2.4 Region Splitting
Opposite to the ‘‘bottom-up’’ approach of region growing, region splitting is
a ‘‘top-down’’ operation. The basic idea of region splitting is to break the image
into disjoint regions within which the pixels have similar properties. In a sense,
the morphological procedures discussed earlier, such as the exoskeleton and
watershed algorithms, can be viewed as region-splitting methods since they work
to separate touching objects. However, morphological techniques are generally
more suitable for segmenting regularly shaped objects and for those cases where
there are distinct bottleneck connections between touching objects.
