Division of images into areas of local extrema with a monotonic change in pixel brightness by A. T. Nguyen, V. Yu. Tsviatkou

“…To solve this problem, a mathematical model is proposed and a segmentation algorithm is developed on the basis of counter-wave growing of local extremum regions. The developed algorithm differs from the known segmentation algorithms by using a set of brightness thresholds (by the number of regions), varying by one in each cycle, starting from the values of local extrema, taking into account the increase or decrease in brightness to select adjacent pixels that are attached to the regions formed from these local extrema. …”
