Definition
The process of dividing an image into multiple segments or regions each corresponding to different parts or objects.
Detailed Explanation
Image segmentation involves partitioning an image into multiple segments based on pixel characteristics like color texture or intensity. It can be performed using various techniques including thresholding clustering region-growing and deep learning approaches. The goal is to simplify image representation and make it more meaningful for analysis.
Use Cases
1. Medical image analysis 2. Satellite imagery analysis 3. Autonomous vehicle scene understanding 4. Industrial defect detection
