Image segmentation: towards a methodology

We present an image segmentation method which may be applied to various tasks such as natural segmentation of monochromatic or color, three dimensional seismic or scanner images . Our algorithme is based on the region growing principle. Its originality lies on optimising the use of a sequence of criteria . We separate the common strategy of using segmentation criteria from the task specific definition of those criteria . This separation between algorithm and mathematical aspects of our method provides for its generality . Experiments results are shown .L'algorithme procède par croissance de régions. Son originalité repose sur l'optimisation d'une suite de critères emboité
