Abstract
A new region growing method for finding the boundaries of blobs is pre sented. A unique feature of the method is that at each step, at most o ne pixel exhibits the required properties to join the region. The meth od uses two novel discontinuity measures, average contrast and periphe ral contrast, to control the growing process.
