title: An iterative segmentation method based on a contextual color and shape criterion.
abstract: An iterative segmentation method is presented and illustrated on specific examples. Full control of each iteration step is obtained by combining local and global properties according to a model of the image structure. A consistent convergence criterion is derived from additional image structure properties and a test is proposed to evaluate adequacy of segmentation.
