Graph Based Segmentation of Digital Images
Bala Krushna Tripathy, Chandra Mouli · IGI Global eBooks · 2012
Image Segmentation is the process of dividing an image into semantically relevant regions. The problem is still an active area due to wide applications in object detection and recognition, image retrieval, image classification, et cetera. The problem is challenging due to its subjective nature. Many researchers addressed this problem by exploring graph theoretic principles. The key idea is the transformation of segmentation problem into graph partitioning problem by representing the image as a graph. The aim of this chapter is to study various graph based segmentation algorithms.
