A claim of priority in research and publication appeared on page 1486 in the paper "Relative Fuzzy Connectedness and Object Definition: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications in Image Segmentation" by J.K. Udupa, P.K. Saha, and R.A. Lotufo ( IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 24, no. 11, pp. 1485-1500, Nov. 2002) with respect to the paper "Multiseeded Segmentation Using Fuzzy Connectedness" by G.T. Herman and B.M. Carvalho ( IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 23, no. 5, pp. 460-474, May 2001). Furthermore, the wording of this claim suggests professional misconduct on the part of G.T. Herman and B.M. Carvalho.

Responsibility for the content of published papers rests with the authors. The peer review process is intended to deter-mine the overall significance of the technical contribution of a manuscript. The peer review process does not provide a way to validate every statement in a manuscript. In particular, the IEEE has not validated the claim referred to in the first paragraph above. The IEEE regrets publishing this unauthenticated statement and the pain that such publication may have caused to G.T. Herman and B.M. Carvalho.
