Image segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into meaningful regions or segments. The best methods depend on the task, but some of the most widely used approaches include thresholding, clustering, and deep learning-based techniques. Thresholding is a simple and effective method for separating objects from the background by converting the image to binary format based on pixel intensity. It works well for images with high contrast but may struggle with complex scenes. Clustering methods, such as K-means and watershed segmentation, group pixels into clusters based on similarity. These techniques are effective for dividing an image into distinct regions but can be computationally intensive. Deep learning-based methods, particularly those using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), such as U-Net and Mask R-CNN, are the most powerful and accurate. These models automatically learn features from the data and have been successful in tasks like medical image segmentation and object detection.
