Detail and Comparative Study on Various Segmentation Techniques

As day by day new computer technologies are emerging in the area of image processing, especially in the field of segmentation. Image Segmentation is a hotspot and important process of image processing. Several algorithms and techniques are developed for image segmentation. It is a technique of partitioning digital image into multiple regions called segments for further analysis. It is very useful in image comprehension and in differentiating different objects in the image. As there is no general solution to the image segmentation these algorithms are often combined for better interpretation. This paper presents a comparative study of various basic image segmentation techniques. Keywords— Image Processing; Segmentation; Thresholding; Image Analysis; Edge Detection; Clustering.
