Abstract

We propose the GeoMap abstract data type as a unified representation for image segmentation purposes. It manages both topology (based on XPMaps) and pixel-based information, and its interface is carefully designed to support a variety of automatic and interactive segmentation methods. We have successfully used the abstract concept of a GeoMap as a foundation for the implementation of well-known segmentation methods.
