Image Segmentation Techniques: An Overview

Image segmentation means extracting the part of an image or any object.In digital image processing, image segmentation plays a vital role in the processing of images.Image segmentation is one of the most important steps leading to the analysis of processed image data. The goal of image segmentation is pattern recognition and image analysis besides simplifying the representation of an image which is more meaningful. It is used in various applications like medical imaging, machine vision, traffic control systems, image recognition tasks etc.In this paper, review of various image segmentation techniques and comparison between different techniques is done.
