Using Stacks for Image Segmentation Based on Region Growing by V. Yu. Tsviatkou

“…Expressions are obtained in the paper that allow one to increase the accuracy of determining the sizes of FIFO and LIFO stacks necessary for storing the coordinates of adjacent pixels in a segmentation algorithm based on growing regions under maximum load conditions. In this case, the initial position of the region growth point and the direction of the selection of adjacent pixels in the scanning window are taken into account. …”
