IMAGE

SEGMENTATION

WHAT IS IMAGE SEGMENTATION

It is the partition of an image into

meaningful regions.
The segmentation is based on
measurements taken from the image
and might be grey level, colour, texture,
depth or motion

EXAMPLE
Segmentation based on grey scale
Very simple model of grey scale leads to

inaccuracies in object labelling.

SEGMENTATION
TECHNIQUES

We will look at two very simple image

segmentation techniques that are based
on the greylevel histogram of an image
Thresholding
Clustering

THRESHOLDING

One of the widely methods used for

image segmentation. It is useful in
discriminating foreground from the
background. By selecting an adequate
threshold value T, the gray level image
can be converted to binary image.

CLUSTERING

It is a process of organizing the objects

into groups based on its attributes.

Applications of image segmentation

1 Medical imaging tasks (Detecting tumors, etc.)
2 Object recognitions in image of remote
sensing.
3 Automated recognition systems
4 Biometrics
5 Automated traffic control system
