This repository contains two C++ implementations of a region-growing algorithm using OpenCV. The algorithm segments an image into regions based on the similarity of pixel colors, utilizing Breadth-First Search (BFS) and Euclidean distance for region expansion.
- OpenCV 4.x installed on your system.
- A C++ compiler (e.g., g++).
- CMake (if you prefer building with it instead of the Makefile).
sudo apt update sudo apt install libopencv-dev
- Navigate to the src/ directory:
cd src - Run the following command to compile both implementations:
make. This will generate two executables:reg_growandreg_grow_dir. - To clean up the compiled files, use:
make clean
To run the program, use the following command (inside src directory): ./region_grow <image_path> <threshold> replace the placeholder with the desired value.
Example: ./region_grow ../images/test-image-rg.jpg 12
This will execute the region-growing algorithm on the sample image with a threshold value of 12.
Here is the original image used for segmentation:
Here is the result after applying the region-growing algorithm:
