Dip 5

Unit 5 covers image segmentation techniques including point, line, and edge detection. The purpose of image segmentation is to partition an image into meaningful regions for a given application. There are two main approaches: discontinuity, which looks for abrupt changes in intensity that indicate edges or boundaries between objects; and similarity, which groups pixels with similar characteristics like intensity or texture. Discontinuity-based segmentation can be classified as point detection, line detection, or edge detection. Thresholding is a basic technique for edge detection that identifies edges as points where the intensity surpasses a threshold value.

Introduction to image segmentation
• The purpose of image segmentation is to pa ition an
image into meaningful regions with respect to a
pa icular application
• The segmentation is based on measurements taken
from the image and might be greylevel, colour, texture,
depth or motion
Introduction to image segmentation
• Image segmentation divides an image into regions that are connected and
have some similarity within the region and some difference between
adjacent regions.
• The goal is usually to find individual objects in an image.
• For the most pa there are fundamentally two kinds of approaches to
segmentation: discontinuity and similarity.
• Similarity may be due to pixel intensity, color or texture.
• Differences are sudden changes (discontinuities) in any of these, but especially
sudden changes in intensity along a boundary line, which is called an edge.
Detection of discontinuities
(Segmentation)
• Discontinuity means abrupt change in the image pat tern. Observe
the following images: point and lines are representation for abrupt
changes.
• The discontinuity-based segmentation can be classified into three
approaches:
• (1) Point detection,
• (2) Line detection, and
• (3) Edge detection.
Example for point detection
• For horizontal
lines
Edge models
