Semi-automatic segmentation of petrographic thin section images using a “seeded-region growing algorithm” with an application to characterize wheathered subarkose sandstone

Accurate imaging of minerals in petrographic thin sections using (semi)-automatic image segmentation techniques remains a challenging task chiefly due to the optical similarity of adjacent grains or grain aggregates rendering definition of grain boundaries difficult. We present a new semi-automatic...
