3D-Color-Structure-Code – A New Non-plainness Island Hierarchy

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3045))

Abstract

The Color Structure Code (CSC) [5] is a very fast and robust region growing technique for segmentation of color or gray-value images. It is based on a hierarchical hexagonal grid structure of the 2d space that fulfills several interesting topological properties. It is known that not all of these properties can be fulfilled together in 3d space. Here we introduce a new 3d hierarchical grid structure that fulfills the most interesting properties. A 3d CSC-segmentation based on this grid structure has been implemented.
