By Diego Freire | FAPESP Agency – Researchers of the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences (ICMC) with the University of São Paulo ( USP ) at São Carlos (SP), and the Brown University in Rhode Island, USA, have developed a computational tool that empowers  innovative techniques for image segmentation. Such techniques make it easier the task of modifying a digital image considering a selection of some existing element inside the image, and then to highlight, modify or delete the element.

Image segmentation is an important field within the digital image processing and pattern recognition areas. The new proposed techniques take advantage of Laplace coordinates, a mathematical operator used to study phenomena in several fields of science such as astronomy, fluid mechanics and computer graphics.
