ROU (Region of Uninterest) and its Applications for Geographical Maps and Images

There are many research activities on Region Of Interest (ROI) in the research fields of image recognition, used for medical treatments and sport video analysis. Many researches on an area of interest (Region Of Interest, ROI) have been conducted in the research area on image processings. It´s important to extract a region which isn´t an interest area in order to avoid the false negative of an area of interest. It is much meaningful to consider that an urrently uninteresting area is one of the useful areas in future. Therefore, in this paper, the concept of Region Of Uninterest(ROU) is proposed as a area which may play a role in future. As practical applications of ROU, geographical maps and images are discussed.
