Abstract
During his long and fruitful career, Georges Matheron never tackled the two themes of segmentation and colour processing of images. At the beginning of the nineties, when I was entering the first theme via connected filters, I asked him why he had avoided them. He told me that he could not take up working on all possible problems, and after a silence, added with his marvellous tactful smile: “besides, I guess it is already left to you”.
