SPLITMERGE Segment an image using a split-and-merge algorithm.

G = SPLITMERGE(F, MINDIM, @PREDICATE) segments image F by using a

split-and-merge approach based on quadtree decomposition. MINDIM

(a positive integer power of 2) specifies the minimum dimension

of the quadtree regions (subimages) allowed. If necessary, the

program pads the input image with zeros to the nearest square

size that is an integer power of 2. This guarantees that the

algorithm used in the quadtree decomposition will be able to

split the image down to blocks of size 1-by-1. The result is

cropped back to the original size of the input image. In the

output, G, each connected region is labeled with a different

integer. - SPLITMERGE Segment an image using a split-and-merge algorithm.
