Abstract
An image processing method and an image processing system using a regionalized architecture are provided. In the method, a plurality of neighborhood pixels having at least one similarity characteristic in an image are classified into a group region having the same characteristics. Then, a unique group mark is assigned to each of the group regions, a regionalized chain code is used to describe an edge of each group region, such that subsequent image processing procedures can be applied to the neighborhood pixels of a currently processed pixel having same group mark. Therefore, the group regions can be recognized according to the group mark and regionalized chain code thereof, so as to simultaneously perform image processing procedures on those group regions.
