Image Segmentation (Image Segmentation)

Description

Image segmentation is the division of an image into different regions, each having certain properties. It is the first step of image analysis which aims at either a description of an image or a classification of the image if a class label is meaningful. An example of the former is the description of an office scene. An example of the latter is the classification of the image of a cancerous cell. Image segmentation is a critical component of an image recognition system because errors in segmentation might propagate to feature extraction and classification.
