Color Image Segmentation

This bid requires some who is knowledgeable in JAVA Advanced Imaging (JAI) and in Java Data Structures. The time span for this project is very small, It has to be completed till friday 15th-July-2005. A brief overview of the Project is that it is a research theory, based on a pyramidal based color image segmentation algorithm. This algorithm is based on a quadtree data structure where we split the image into 4 quadrants and carry on recursively splitting the image until it reaches a single pixel. After which we carry calculations like average, mean and covariance for the leafs and the nodes. After this we start merging the splited pieces of the image on the basis of different mathematical calculations(i.e. hue, light and chromocity) and make a clear boundary of the similar regions in the image. This project is 75% completed the last part of merging the image and making a clear boundary of the colors segmented is required. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
