public class ImageMasking
extends Object

Code example:

This example shows how to decompose a raster image into multiple images using image masking and the K-means segmentation algorithm. Image masking is an image processing technique that is used to split the background from the foreground image objects.

    // Set the number of clusters (separated objects). The default value is 2, the foreground object and the background.
    args.setNumberOfObjects(3);

    // Set the maximum number of iterations.
    args.setMaxIterationNumber(50);

    // Set the precision of segmentation method (optional)
