Input:
A discrete image (an array of values)
Output:
The tree of shapes. Each shape stores its pixels and its gray level (and
maybe its geometric characteristics: area, perimeter, moments)
Interpretation:
The image is considered as constant on each pixel and upper semicontinuous
Reconstruction: Each pixel
gets the gray level of the smallest shape containing it. Complexity .
Memory usage: Number of shapes
