A comparative study of new and existing segmentation techniques

Abstract

Image segmentation is the most crucial part in image processing techniques. Numerous segmentation techniques are used to segment digital images into smaller regions called segments, consisting of sets of pixels in order to analyze important information from the images. Segmentation simplifies the process of information retrieval from the region of interest (ROI).It helps in converting the digital image into more relevant information and easier to analyze. This paper presents a comparative analysis of existing segmentation techniques and its modification to form new segmentation techniques to overcome some of the drawbacks of the existing image segmentation approaches.
