    A novel region growing method precisely identifies blob boundaries by adding only one pixel at a time. This approach utilizes new average contrast and peripheral contrast measures for accurate region segmentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Image processing
    • Computer vision
    • Computational imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate segmentation of objects (blobs) in images is crucial for various applications.
    • Existing region growing methods can be sensitive to noise and may oversegment or undersegment regions.

    Discussion:

    • The presented method ensures controlled region expansion by admitting at most one pixel per step.
    • Novel discontinuity measures, average contrast and peripheral contrast, are introduced to guide the region growing process.
    • This pixel-level control enhances boundary detection accuracy and robustness.

    Key Insights:

    • A new region growing algorithm for precise blob boundary detection.
    • Introduction of average contrast and peripheral contrast for controlled segmentation.
