Image segmentation
In computer vision, image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into
multiple segments (sets of pixels, also known as image objects). The goal of segmentation is to
simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful
and easier to analyze.[1][2] Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects
and boundaries (lines, curves, etc.) in images. 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.
The result of image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image, or
a set of contours extracted from the image (see edge detection). Each of the pixels in a region
are similar with respect to some characteristic or computed property, such as color, intensity,
or texture. Adjacent regions are significantly different with respect to the same characteristic(s).

When applied to a stack of images, typical in medical imaging, the resulting contours after
image segmentation can be used to create 3D reconstructions with the help of interpolation
algorithms like Marching cubes.[3]
