Segmentation
G. J. Awcock, R. Thomas · 1995
The principal objective of the segmentation process is to partition an image into meaningful regions which correspond to part of, or the whole of, objects within the scene. This is done by systematically dividing the whole image up into its constituent areas or regions. If the regions do not correspond directly to a physical object, or object surface, then they should correspond to some area of uniformity as defined by some predetermined assertion, or predicate.
