Research on Progress in Image Segmentation

Thousands of image segmentation algorithms have been proposed so far, and new algorithms are proposed continuously. Image segmentation can be classified by the view of image segmentation application, or by the theoretical tool used in image segmentation. The main research fields including Otsu method, clustering, motion segmentation, image segmentation method based on graph theory and image segmentation method based on active contour. Natural computing algorithm has become a new hotspot of image segmentation.
