Plugin to convert a seed-based raster segmentation (Region Growing) into a vector polygon, with options for geoprocessing overlay (Add, Difference, Clip, or Union).

About

This plugin creates a raster region using a point clicked on the image, known as a seed. The region starts at the seed and expands by comparing the seed's RGB values with those of neighboring pixels. If the difference in values is less than a defined threshold (for each channel), the region grows. Once the region is defined, a polygon is created. The user can then choose the vector operation to be performed with this polygon on the active vector layer: Add, Difference, Clip, or Union. This plugin is part of the Brazilian Fire Information System (Sisfogo), develop by National Center to Prevent and Combat Forest fires (Prevfogo/Ibama).
