abstract = "The data structure used to encode an image partition is
of critical importance for most of region-based segmentation
algorithms. Usual data structures are often convenient to extract
only few parameters from the partition while inducing complex
processing to compute others. Moreverer, the split and merge
operations allowed by such data structure are often restricted. A
new model~cite{braquelaire-96} allows segmentation algorithms to
extract a wide range of parameters from a partition. In this paper
we describe the two basic primitives used by segmentation algorithms
to modify a partition: the segment insertion and segment
suppression.",
