region growing

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

Region growing is used as part of region detection in computer vision. Initial attempts to identify regions may be conservative, stopping short of actual boundaries, in order to prevent multiple regions being amalgamted. Additional algorithms can be applied to the edges of each region, to grow them slowly.
