In digital image processing and computer vision, image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple image segments, also known as image regions or image objects (sets of pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to ...
Split and merge segmentation is an image processing technique used to segment an image.The image is successively split into quadrants based on a homogeneity criterion and similar regions are merged to create the segmented result.
Statistical region merging (SRM) is an algorithm used for image segmentation. [1] [2] The algorithm is used to evaluate the values within a regional span and grouped together based on the merging criteria, resulting in a smaller list.
The random walker algorithm is an algorithm for image segmentation.In the first description of the algorithm, [1] a user interactively labels a small number of pixels with known labels (called seeds), e.g., "object" and "background".
Region growing is a simple region-based image segmentation method. It is also classified as a pixel-based image segmentation method since it involves the selection of initial seed points. This approach to segmentation examines neighboring pixels of initial seed points and determines whether the pixel neighbors should be added to the region.
A popular local adaptation is the two-dimensional Otsu's method, which performs better for the object segmentation task in noisy images. Here, the intensity value of a given pixel is compared with the average intensity of its immediate neighborhood to improve segmentation results. [8]
A simple elastic snake is defined by a set of n points for =, …,, the internal elastic energy term , and the external edge-based energy term .The purpose of the internal energy term is to control the deformations made to the snake, and the purpose of the external energy term is to control the fitting of the contour onto the image.
Image segmentation strives to partition a digital image into regions of pixels with similar properties, e.g. homogeneity. [1] The higher-level region representation simplifies image analysis tasks such as counting objects or detecting changes, because region attributes (e.g. average intensity or shape [2]) can be compared more readily than raw pixels.
