Study of Core Methodologies and their Modified Versions for Image Segmentation

Abstract

The field of image segmentation basically concerns with the dividing image into its constituent objects. It is a widely studied field so a lot of research have been conducted and many methods are proposed to provide solution to this problem. Some of them are novel and propose a new technique and others are the modification to improve the efficiency of the methods proposed in past. This paper discusses the core methodology proposed by various researchers. The main purpose is to study the key mathematical equations and main steps that drives the different methods used in the field of image segmentation. The core algorithms their main mathematical foundation from the papers and literature of the various researchers have been put forth in this paper to look into them on a single platform. For that different papers have been surveyed in which some of them give the novel idea and other are the efficient extension of those novel ideas.
