A Study of Image Segmentation Approaches
Hydin John, J. Anitha · 2012
One of the important technologies for image processing is image segmentation. The complexity of image content is still a big challenge for carrying out automatic image segmentation. A lot of work shows that the user guidance can help to define the desired content to be extracted and thus reduce the ambiguities produced by the automatic methods. A brief overview of some of the most common segmentation techniques, and a comparison between them comprise this literature review. It discusses the various segmentation techniques for pixel based image segmentation, region based image segmentation, edge based image segmentation, and graph based image segmentation. Among different segmentation techniques, interactive graph cuts have several good features in practical applications.
