A new mothod-called Octopus for color images segmentation which is robust

rapid and free of tuning parameters is presented in this paper. It acquires this properties by the synergy of seeded region growing

Snake(Active Contour Models) and Operator of the computer. The process of objects extraction starts with a SRG. The region boundary are modified by Snake on the basis of considering the boundary smoothness and variation of image gradient along the boungary. We illustrate the properties of Octopus on real image where the color information of the object are used.
