This hybrid segmentation algorithm presented is a combination of three traditional methods. It has some advantages that traditional methods don't have: first, the edge detected is continuous; second, segmentation result is accurate; third, overgrowing doesn't exist. The hybrid algorithm has been implemented on some images. Through the segmentation result, it is proved to be effective.
