description:Plugin to convert a seed-based raster segmentation (Region Growing) into a vector polygon,
            with options for geoprocessing overlay (Add, Difference, Clip, or Union).
about:This plugin creates a raster region using a point clicked on the image, known as a seed.
       
       The region starts at the seed and expands by comparing the seed's RGB values with those of neighboring pixels.
       If the difference in values is less than a defined threshold (for each channel), the region grows.
       
       Once the region is defined, a polygon is created.
       The user can then choose the vector operation to be performed with this polygon on the active vector layer:
       Add, Difference, Clip, or Union.
       
       This plugin is part of the Brazilian Fire Information System (Sisfogo),
       develop by National Center to Prevent and Combat Forest fires (Prevfogo/Ibama).
