Nikou digital image processing image segmentation obtain a compact representation of the image to be used for further processing. Pdf a comparative study of supervised evaluation criteria. These criteria assume that the input provided by the user consists of points on the boundary of the object to be segmented. In a segmented image, the elementary picture elements are no longer the individual pixels but connected sets of pixels belonging to the same region. Comparisons with other criteria shows that the results for normalized cut are quite good although high computational complexity is a drawback. Group together similar pixels image intensity is not sufficient to perform semantic segmentation object recognition decompose objects to simple tokens line segments, spots, corners. May 22, 2018 it is widely thought in marketing that than segmentation is an art, not a science. Color and shape criteria these two criteria are used to create image objects of relatively homogeneous pixels using the general segmentation function s f. In this project we focus on boundarybased segmentation criteria for which the global optimum can be efficiently found using shortest paths algorithms.
The goal of image segmentation is to cluster pixels into salient image regions, i.

Introduction to image segmentation with kmeans clustering. More precisely, image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image such that pixels with the same label share certain characteristics. Market segmentation 223 globalization of business expands the scope of operations and requires a new approach to local, regional and global segments. Tennenbaum, 1978 an image segmentation is the partition of an image into a set of nonoverlapping regions whose union is the entire image.
