RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Tippner, Aleš T1 Development of segmentation algorithm based region growing for software GIS GRASS JF Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis YR 2014 VO 58 IS 1 SP 207 OP 216 DO 10.11118/actaun201058010207 UL https://acta.mendelu.cz/artkey/acu-201001-0025.php AB Image segmentation is fundamental prerequisite for new satellite images interpretation methods. GIS GRASS provides segmentation tools enabling global image segmentation only. We designed procedure enabling local segmentation using existing GRASS tools and segmentation algorithm based on region growing that we developed with C++. This algorithm applies mathematical morphology operators to output segments, too. Principial aim of the project is creation of useful input for differentiation of base land cover classes in panchromatic high-resolution satellite image (or historical aerial photographs for example).
