Image segmentation technique- a comparative study

摘要

Image segmentation techniques aims at identification and extraction of foreground objects in an image resulting into individual segments. Segmentation of images basically are so varied from one type of image to other images as each had its own context and varied geometrical properties and thus leading to a challenge in design of a generic algorithmic procedure. In this paper, an effort is formed to compare and study the efficiency of color image segmentation victimization color areas, watersheds, fuzzy c-means and edge detection techniques towards the segmentation of fruit images. The fruit images employed for segmentation are downloaded from various sources of online and also few of the images are synthetically gathered by capturing the fruits images over a plain background. The analysis had resulted in conclusion that performance of fuzzy c -means and watersheds had led to optimal outcomes than other techniques.
