Re: (image attached)how to segment the image like this?

Hi, Brian,

Thanks a lot for answering my(ours) post...

Yeah, I originally want to do some processing which I did not know
myself(magically?)...and see the results... but after reading your answer, I
guess I will also try "K-means classification"... and I can classify
"homogeous" and "non-homogeneous" pixels...

This is a great resouce! I guess the FAQ editor should put this resource
into FAQ and mark it! I immediately bookmarked it and will borrow the book
soon... the only little pity is that the codes are in C... having been a C
programmer for over 15 years I am now quite tired about C... whenever you
implement an idea, much more work is devoted into debugging... If there are
matlab codes, there will be even better! Anyway, it is already very great!
and I will get the book to read!

Thank you very much, Brian!
