A Performance Comparison of Supervised and Unsupervised Image Segmentation Methods

Abstract

Image processing plays a vital role in many recent computer applications in the association with machine learning technology. The supervised training on dataset of features can only be successful if the segmentation process is accurate in the computer vision phase. The term segmentation is the process of extracting or identification of distinguishable regions in an image. This is performed based on the properties of image pixel intensity values and their proximities. This paper mainly focuses on an investigation of various latest image segmentation techniques performed in the field of computer vision and image processing. Segmentation plays a vital role in computer vision since any fault in segmentation will led to inaccurate extraction of features which results in wrong prediction of the decision support systems.
