Conventional pixel based region segmentation methods have problems of long processing time and incorrect region split on account of performing region split through comparison of neighboring pixels. In this paper, we propose the method which segments a large size of satellite image effectively using modified centroid linkage method. This method is a sort of region split and merge. The proposed method merges pixels and makes them as a new region through only two directional comparing the current positioning pixel with neighbor ones, if they are satisfied with given conditions. Therefore, this method has less comparing time than the cases of previous ones. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is very efficient because of having less processing time and more exact segmented regions than the previous ones.
