This method can be used in a range of applications such as image sub-selection in graphic arts, tumor identification in medicine, or as an input mechanism for training samples in industrial tracking. We have implemented this technique in an educational software tool that allows students to take measurements on images and videos. Using the region identification routine, students can compare the land areas of the continents, the growth of the ozone hole, or the size of an enormous iceberg which recently broke off an ice shelf in Antarctica. Segmentation on image of iceberg. Segmentation of Australia.
