Abstract
A system for improved display of tuned multi-scaled regions of an image with local and global control and methods for making and using same. To assist the novice user of image processing tool, less input parameters should be required. Further, it will assist the user if results are diplayed in a shorter period of time. Utilizing a hierarchical bottom-up approach provides for the advantage of being able to utilize intermediate results to gather more details. The systems and methods disclosed provide for the grouping of contiguous pixels which have similar properties. Further, the disclosed embodiments provide for the user the ability to see all levels of detail of segmentation either globally or locally. The scale-space is tuned to the information in the image.
