Image segmentation is where we start analyzing the image for its attributes and features. Here when an image is given as input to the image segmentation process ,it outputs in the image attributes.

What does segmentation generally mean ? Segmentation generally means to break something into distinguishable parts.

Here also Image segmentation means to breakdown a Digital image into multiple regions/parts.

We detect two things using Image segmentation

  1. Objects
  2. Boundaries

Based on action to detect these there are two criteria available:

  1. Discontinuity : Detects the discontinuous portions of an image. 1. Isolated Point Detection 2. Line Detection 3. Edge Detection
  2. Similarity : Detects the similar portions in the images.
    1. Thresholding
    2. Region Segmentation
      1. Region Growing
      2. Region Split
      3. Region Merge
