Abstract :
A new segmentation algorithm based on image algebraic operations for background removal of the Visible Human Data (VHD) has been proposed in the paper. The new algorithm has been implemented and tested. Both algorithm analysis and testing results have showed that the new algorithm could have better segmentation results on the VHD, with less algorithmic complexity and less computational complexity, compared with other known algorithms of background removal for the VHD
