Abstract
In the segmentation of an image into spatial regions, an image region is identified by forming difference-image pixel values from the chosen image and at least one other image in the image sequence and accumulating those difference-image pixel values horizontally and vertically. Co-located horizontal and vertical accumulations are combined and utilized in identifying the region. Difference-image pixel values can also be accumulated along other lines which pass through a point of interest.
