Region Growing Method

The Python code performs region-based image segmentation using region growing. It takes a grayscale image and seed points as input. It iteratively grows regions by adding neighboring pixels satisfying a similarity test, and outputs a segmented image. Key steps include initializing processed pixels and output, processing seed points, iterating region growth, and returning the segmented output image.

Certainly! Let’s break down the Python code for region growing step by step:

1. Objective:

The goal of this code is to perform region-based segmentation on an input grayscale image using the region
growing technique.
We start from seed points (initial pixels) and iteratively grow a region by adding neighboring pixels that satisfy a
similarity criterion.

2. Function Signature:
def region_growing(img, seed_points, test=lambda seed_x, seed_y, x, y, img, outimg: img[x, y] != 0, colormap=None):

3. Parameters:

img: The input grayscale image (2D numpy array).


seed_points: A list of seed coordinates (initial points) for region growing.
test: A function that defines the similarity criterion between pixels. By default,
it checks if the intensity of the
neighboring pixel is nonzero.
colormap: An optional colormap for visualizing the segmented regions (3D numpy array).

4. Initialization:

We create an empty boolean array called processed to keep track of processed pixels.
If colormap is provided, we initialize an output image (outimg) with zeros. Otherwise, we initialize it with the same
shape as the input image.

5. Seed Points Initialization:

We mark the seed points as processed and copy their values to the output image.
If a colormap is provided, we assign a unique color to each seed point.

6. Region Growing Iteration:

While there are seed points in the list:


Take the first seed point (pix).
Check its 8-connected neighbors (up, down, left, right, and diagonals).
If a neighbor is not processed and satisfies the similarity criterion (defined by the test function), add it to the
region.
Mark the neighbor as processed.
Repeat this process until no more neighbors can be added to the region.
Remove the processed seed point from the list.

7. Termination:

The region-growing process stops when all seed points have been processed.

8. Output:

The outimg contains the segmented regions based on the region growing process.

9. Example Usage:

Replace img with your actual grayscale image data.


Choose appropriate seed points.
Customize the test function to define your similarity criterion (e.g., intensity similarity).

10. Notes:

You can visualize the segmented regions using the outimg.


Adjust parameters (e.g., similarity criteria, seed selection) based on your specific application.
🌟
Remember that this is a simplified example, and real-world applications may require additional considerations and
optimizations. Feel free to adapt and experiment with this code for your specific use case!

import numpy as np

def region_growing(img, seed_points, test=lambda seed_x, seed_y, x, y, img, outimg: img[x, y] != 0, colormap=None):
processed = np.full(img.shape, False)
if colormap is None:
outimg = np.zeros_like(img)
else:
outimg = np.zeros((img.shape[0], img.shape[1], colormap.shape[2]), dtype=np.uint8)

for index, pix in enumerate(seed_points):


processed[pix] = True
if colormap is None:
outimg[pix] = img[pix]
else:
outimg[pix] = colormap[index % len(colormap)]

while len(seed_points) > 0:


pix = seed_points[0]
for coord in get_8_connected(pix, img.shape):
if not processed[coord]:
test_result = test(pix, coord, img, outimg)
if test_result:
outimg[coord] = outimg[pix]
seed_points.append(coord)
processed[coord] = True
seed_points.pop(0)

return outimg

# Example usage:
# Replace 'img' with your actual image data and 'seed_points' with your seed coordinates
# You can customize the 'test' function to define your similarity criterion

# Example seed points (you can choose your own):


seed_points = [(10, 20), (15, 25), (30, 40)]

# Call the region growing function:


segmented_image = region_growing(img, seed_points)

# Display or save the segmented_image as needed

🌟
Remember to adapt this code to your specific image and requirements. You can adjust the similarity criterion, seed selection,
and other parameters as needed. Happy coding!
