abstract = "This paper presents an interactive algorithm for image denoising
and segmentation. A global competition criterion is used to impose
an order of processing on all image pixels. The smoothing step
employs an evolution equation controlled by the local curvature to
denoise the image while preserving the features. The interactive
segmentation step requires the user to select one definitive seed
per region. Region growing is initiated around provisory seeds,
which are automatically detected, labeled and eventually merged by
the algorithm. A simple merging mechanism is used to handle the
topological transformations required to remove the image
over-segmentation. It is shown that accurate and fast segmentation
results can be achieved for gray and color images using this
simple method. Extension to 3D images is straightforward and
easily handled.",
