Image Segmentation: A Survey

Neelesh Singh Rajput, Shalini Sahay

Abstract: Image segmentation has always been an important topic in the field of image processing and it has a wide application on various fields like object detection, classification, edge detection, medicals fields, face detections etc. Main goal in image segmentation is to find the set of pixel or otherwise known as Super pixels in terms of different characteristics of pixels. In this paper, we are going to discuss some of the image segmentation techniques using various methods like Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) Clustering, Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT), Back Propagation algorithm based Neural Network and Image Histogram Analysis. Some papers also based on some hybrid approaches to enhance accuracy than that of traditional methods. In the end, we will compare all the methods to find a novel approach for image segmentation.
