PIPS: A Procedure for Interactive Pyramid SegmentationThe Procedure for Interactive Pyramid Segementation was designed to identify regions of spatially connected and spectrally homogeneous pixels in multispectral image data, and to allow these regions to be interactively manipulated without the use of processing parameters. The objective is to provide the user with the capability to easily extract and identify regions corresponding to target objects of interest. The approach is to segment a multispectral image into a set of regions and to allow the analyst to interactively refine the segmentation by direct manipulation. The user can elect to: interactively display maps of the spatial distribution of regions for any designated image subset; display the statistics of a given region; and label, merge, or split regions.
