            Abstract : 
Connected operators [4] and Region Growing [2] algorithms have been created in different context and applications. However, they all are based on the same fundamental merging process. This paper discusses the basic issues of the merging algorithm and presents different applications ranging from simple frame segmentation to video sequence analysis.
