Subject: [Image-SIG] Area selection marquee
I am programming a colouring book and need to identify all the distinct
bound areas on an image so that i can cycle through them (and if
possible convert them to separe image objects. (see the magic wand
selector in any paint application) I also need a flodd fill routine -
please help me as I am a newbie with Python - Thaks Chris Krause
Hi,
I can't help you with python code, but I can definitely tell you the solution
in general terms. My reply is:
1. For extracting the distinct areas in the image, use either (a)segmentation
approach, or (b) edge detection approach (c) Morphological boundary extraction.
I will detail on (b) & (c)
(b) Use either of the following convolution masks :
Sobel, Prewitt, Robert-Cross (only 2x2 exists), or make your own
Sobel is by far the best, as per what I have seen. You may choose a 3x3 mask
for sharper edge-detection, or a 5x5 or 7x7 mask for thicker detection with
heavier response.
A 9x9 mask also exists, which you may try i9f Sobel doesn't work. It is
Laplacian of Gaussian.
(c)
Step1 : represent the object/image using any set representation, (see Set
Theory in case of doubts),
Step 2: take the dilation of the image,
Step 3 : subtract (***Set Subtraction***), from it the image, and you got the
boundary.
This method of morphology is for binary image only, and for grayscale/colour
images, it is far more complex than this one.
This is the theory of the technical stuff. I haven't done much programming in
python, so can't give code for that, except for representation and basic
operation on sets.
Bye.
