The Advantages and Disadvantages of Region Growing
We briefly conclude the advantages and disadvantages of region growing.
Advantages：
1. Region growing methods can correctly separate the regions that have the same properties we define.
2. Region growing methods can provide the original images which have clear edges with good segmentation results.
3. The concept is simple. We only need a small number of seed points to represent the property we want, then grow the region.
4. We can determine the seed points and the criteria we want to make.
5. We can choose the multiple criteria at the same time.
6. It performs well with respect to noise.
We can conquer the noise problem easily by using some mask to filter the holes or outlier. Therefore, the problem of noise actually does not exist. In conclusion, it is obvious that the most serious problem of region growing is the power and time consuming.

“If the minds of women were enlightened and improved, the domestic circle would be more frequently refreshed by intelligent conversation, a means of edification now deplorably neglected, for want of that cultivation which these intellectual advantages would confer.”

“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
