%
%  Segment segments an image by analyzing the histograms of the color
%  components and identifying units that are homogeneous with the fuzzy
%  c-means technique.  The scale-space filter analyzes the histograms of
%  the three color components of the image and identifies a set of
%  classes.  The extents of each class is used to coarsely segment the
%  image with thresholding.  The color associated with each class is
%  determined by the mean color of all pixels within the extents of a
%  particular class.  Finally, any unclassified pixels are assigned to
%  the closest class with the fuzzy c-means technique.
%
%  The fuzzy c-Means algorithm can be summarized as follows:
%
%    o Build a histogram, one for each color component of the image.
%
%    o For each histogram, successively apply the scale-space filter and
%      build an interval tree of zero crossings in the second derivative
%      at each scale.  Analyze this scale-space ``fingerprint'' to
%      determine which peaks and valleys in the histogram are most
%      predominant.
%
%    o The fingerprint defines intervals on the axis of the histogram.
%      Each interval contains either a minima or a maxima in the original
%      signal.  If each color component lies within the maxima interval,
%      that pixel is considered ``classified'' and is assigned an unique
%      class number.
%
%    o Any pixel that fails to be classified in the above thresholding
%      pass is classified using the fuzzy c-Means technique.  It is
%      assigned to one of the classes discovered in the histogram analysis
%      phase.
%
%  The fuzzy c-Means technique attempts to cluster a pixel by finding
%  the local minima of the generalized within group sum of squared error
%  objective function.  A pixel is assigned to the closest class of
%  which the fuzzy membership has a maximum value.
%
%  Segment is strongly based on software written by Andy Gallo,
%  University of Delaware.

%    Algorithm Based on the Thresholding and the Fuzzy c-Means

%  Classify() defines one or more classes.  Each pixel is thresholded to

%  A description of each parameter follows.
%
%    o image: the image.
%
%    o extrema:  Specifies a pointer to an array of integers.  They
%      represent the peaks and valleys of the histogram for each color
%      component.
%
%    o cluster_threshold:  This MagickRealType represents the minimum number of
%      pixels contained in a hexahedra before it can be considered valid
%      (expressed as a percentage).
%
%    o weighting_exponent: Specifies the membership weighting exponent.

%    o verbose:  A value greater than zero prints detailed information about
%      the identified classes.
