A Critique On Image Segmentation Techniques

Image segmentation techniques aim to identify and extract foreground objects in a photograph, resulting in individual segments. Segmentation of images is profoundly different from one type of image to the next because each has its context and different geometric properties, posing a challenge in designing a generic algorithmic process. This section provides an overview and comparison of image segmentation techniques as well as their applications. It also incorporates a wide range of procedures and the role of image segmentation in computer vision research.
