Name: Interactive Visualization Method of a max-­tree structure and uses thereof

Authors: Tavares, L., Souza, R., Rittner, L., Machado, R., Lotufo, R.

Brazilian Institute of Intellectual Property Registry: #BR 10 2015 032565 7

The max-tree is a data structure that represents all possible upper thresholds of an image, it has been successfully used in many image processing and analysis applications. The max-tree corresponding to a natural image usually has tens of thousands of nodes, which makes unpractical to build a comprehensive graphical representation of its complete structure. We propose a methodology that allows to build an interactive max-tree graphical representation that permits the user to navigate through the max-tree nodes, to visualize its connected components and to create node subsets. Our representation displays a simplified max-tree using a dendrogram structure, but it allows the user to access all max-tree nodes using the interactive max-tree navigation features. This is the first work that proposes an interactive graphical representation of the max-tree. Our interactive max-tree visualization tool can be used for segmentation either by creating subsets of nodes either by using nodes as input markers to segmentations algorithms, such as the watershed transform.
