Abstract
The majority of vision research focusses on advancing technical methods for image analysis, with a coupled increase in complexity and sophistication. The problem of providing access to these sophisticated techniques is largely ignored, leading to a lack of application by mainstream applications. We present a feature-based clustering segmentation algorithm with novel modifications to fit a developer-centred abstraction. This abstraction acts as an interface which accepts a description of segmentation in terms of properties (colour, intensity, texture, etc.), constraints (size, quantity) and priorities (biasing a segmentation). This paper discusses the modifications needed to fit the algorithm into the abstraction, which conditions of the abstraction it supports, and results of the various conditions demonstrating the coverage of the segmentation problem space. The algorithm modification process is discussed generally to help other researchers mould their algorithms to similar abstractions.
