Image Segmentation Techniques with Machine Learning

Abstract

Image segmentation is the fundamental step to analyze images and extract data from them. This paper concentrates on the idea behind the basic methods used. Image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments(i. e. sets of pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries(line, curve) in image. The Image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image. Each of pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristics colour, intensity or texture. The various segmentation techniques discussed in this paper.
