General introduction about the topic and then an introduction of the
tutorial (the questions and the objectives). It is nice also to have a
scheme to sum up the pipeline used during the tutorial. The idea is to
give to trainees insight into the content of the tutorial and the (theoretical
and technical) key concepts they will learn.
Voronoi segmentation is a technique used to divide an image or space into regions
based on the proximity to a set of defined points, called seeds or sites. Each
region, known as a Voronoi cell, contains all locations that are closer to its
seed than to any other. This approach is especially useful when analyzing spatial
relationships, as it reveals how different areas relate in terms of distance and
distribution. Voronoi segmentation is widely applicable for tasks where it's
important to understand the proximity or neighborhood structure of points, such
as organizing space, studying clustering patterns, or identifying regions of
influence around each point in various types of data.

You may want to cite some publications; this can be done by adding citations to the
bibliography file (`tutorial.bib` file next to your `tutorial.md` file). These citations
must be in bibtex format. If you have the DOI for the paper you wish to cite, you can
get the corresponding bibtex entry using [doi2bib.org](https://doi2bib.org).

With the example you will find in the `tutorial.bib` file, you can add a citation to
this article here in your tutorial like this:
{% raw %} `{% cite Batut2018 %}`{% endraw %}.
This will be rendered like this: {% cite Batut2018 %}, and links to a
[bibliography section](#bibliography) which will automatically be created at the end of the
tutorial.
## Voronoi Segmentation for bioimage analysis

In bioimage analysis, Voronoi segmentation is a valuable tool for studying the
spatial organization of cells, tissues, or other biological structures within an
image. By dividing an image into regions around each identified cell or structure,
Voronoi segmentation enables researchers to analyze how different cell types are
distributed, measure distances between cells, and examine clustering patterns. This
can provide insights into cellular interactions, tissue organization, and functional
relationships within biological samples, such as identifying the proximity of immune
cells to tumor cells or mapping neuron distributions within brain tissue.

## Voronoi Segmentation for Earth Observation

In Earth observation, Voronoi segmentation is used to analyze spatial patterns and distributions in satellite or aerial images. By creating regions based on proximity to specific points, such as cities, vegetation clusters, or monitoring stations, Voronoi segmentation helps in studying how features are organized across a landscape. This method is particularly useful for mapping resource distribution, analyzing urban growth, monitoring vegetation patterns, or assessing land use changes. For instance, it can help divide an area into regions of influence around weather stations or identify how different land cover types interact spatially, aiding in environmental monitoring and planning.
