Image Segmentation Techniques and Real-World Applications. Here you will know that What is meant by Image segmentation. What are main techniques for image segmentation. As well as what are real world application of image segmentation.
What is segmentation?
Image segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into a collection of connected sets of pixels. The goal of segmentation is to simplify change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyses.
Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries like lines, curves in images. It is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image.
Three main techniques to do.
- Thresholding
- Region based segmentation
- Edge based segmentation
THRESHOLDING
Thresholding is finding histogram of gray level intensity.
Types
- Basic Global Thresholding
- Multiple Threshold
- Variable Thresholding
- Otsu’s Technique
Basic Global Thresholding
- Primarily Segment image use:
- Calculate the average intensity m1 and m2 for the pixels.
- Calculate a fresh threshold:
T = ½(m1 + m2)
- Until the variance between values of T is minor than a predefined parameter.
