             abstract = "This paper exposes an algorithm which leads to a fuzzy 
                         segmentation. This algorithm performs, as in the watershed method, 
                         a progressive flood of the gradient image from pixels of lowest 
                         gradients. It uses a new distance, called topographic distance. 
                         Any local minimum of the gradient norm image constitutes a seed 
                         for the region growing, avoiding the use of a marker image. These 
                         seeds constitute the cores of the initial fuzzy regions. then 
                         sites are gradually agglomerated to the region, while their 
                         membership degrees to the region decrease, according to the 
                         distance to the core and to the gradient norms, by the way of the 
                         topographic distance. The numerous fuzzy regions are then merged 
                         and the membership degrees of pixels to final regions are 
                         computed. Applications concern crisp segmentation of colour or 
                         gray scale imagens and pattern recognition from fuzzy regions.",
