Region Growing Thresholding

Region growing is a powerful segmentation technique Thresholding offers a straightforward yet effective
that begins with a seed pixel. It iteratively incorporates approach to image segmentation. This method
neighboring pixels based on predefined criteria, often transforms a grayscale image into a binary image by
involving intensity or color similarity. This method is employing a threshold value. Pixels exceeding this

object boundaries are relatively clear. proves remarkably useful in scenarios where clear
intensity distinctions exist between regions of interest
and the background.
Active Contours: An Algorithm
for Image Segmentation
Active contours, also known as snakes, are a popular technique for
image segmentation. These algorithms use deformable curves that
are guided by image features to accurately outline regions of interest.
They are used in applications such as tumor detection and organ
segmentation.
