#----------- Random walker algorithm --------------------------------
def random_walker(data, labels, beta=130, mode='bf', tol=1.e-3, copy=True):
"""
Random walker algorithm for segmentation from markers.
Parameters
----------
data : array_like
Image to be segmented in phases. `data` can be two- or
three-dimensional.
labels : array of ints, of same shape as `data`
Array of seed markers labeled with different positive integers
for different phases. Zero-labeled pixels are unlabeled pixels.
Negative labels correspond to inactive pixels that are not taken
into account (they are removed from the graph).
beta : float
Penalization coefficient for the random walker motion
(the greater `beta`, the more difficult the diffusion).
mode : {'bf', 'cg_mg', 'cg'} (default: 'bf')
Mode for solving the linear system in the random walker
algorithm.
- 'bf' (brute force, default): an LU factorization of the Laplacian is
computed. This is fast for small images (<1024x1024), but very slow
(due to the memory cost) and memory-consuming for big images (in 3-D
for example).
- 'cg' (conjugate gradient): the linear system is solved iteratively
using the Conjugate Gradient method from scipy.sparse.linalg. This is
less memory-consuming than the brute force method for large images,
but it is quite slow.
- 'cg_mg' (conjugate gradient with multigrid preconditioner): a
preconditioner is computed using a multigrid solver, then the
solution is computed with the Conjugate Gradient method. This mode
requires that the pyamg module (http://code.google.com/p/pyamg/) is
installed. For images of size > 512x512, this is the recommended
(fastest) mode.
tol : float
tolerance to achieve when solving the linear system, in
cg' and 'cg_mg' modes.
copy : bool
If copy is False, the `labels` array will be overwritten with
the result of the segmentation. Use copy=False if you want to
save on memory.
Returns
-------
output : ndarray of ints
Array in which each pixel has been labeled according to the marker
that reached the pixel first by anisotropic diffusion.

--------
skimage.morphology.watershed: watershed segmentation
A segmentation algorithm based on mathematical morphology
and "flooding" of regions from markers.
Notes
-----
The algorithm was first proposed in *Random walks for image
segmentation*, Leo Grady, IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell.
2006 Nov;28(11):1768-83.
The algorithm solves the diffusion equation at infinite times for
sources placed on markers of each phase in turn. A pixel is labeled with
the phase that has the greatest probability to diffuse first to the pixel.
The diffusion equation is solved by minimizing x.T L x for each phase,
where L is the Laplacian of the weighted graph of the image, and x is
the probability that a marker of the given phase arrives first at a pixel
by diffusion (x=1 on markers of the phase, x=0 on the other markers, and
the other coefficients are looked for). Each pixel is attributed the label
for which it has a maximal value of x. The Laplacian L of the image
is defined as:
- L_ii = d_i, the number of neighbors of pixel i (the degree of i)
- L_ij = -w_ij if i and j are adjacent pixels
The weight w_ij is a decreasing function of the norm of the local gradient.
This ensures that diffusion is easier between pixels of similar values.
When the Laplacian is decomposed into blocks of marked and unmarked pixels::
L = M B.T
B A
with first indices corresponding to marked pixels, and then to unmarked
pixels, minimizing x.T L x for one phase amount to solving::
A x = - B x_m
where x_m=1 on markers of the given phase, and 0 on other markers.
This linear system is solved in the algorithm using a direct method for
small images, and an iterative method for larger images.

>>> a = np.zeros((10, 10)) + 0.2*np.random.random((10, 10))
>>> a[5:8, 5:8] += 1
>>> b = np.zeros_like(a)
>>> b[3,3] = 1 #Marker for first phase
>>> b[6,6] = 2 #Marker for second phase
