Abstract

Image segmentation is a fundamental process of partitioning an image. Segmentation is the most essential process as well as crucial. It remains as a challenging task, due to various factors such as noise, occulsion, etc., the main aim of this paper is to understand and compare the different image segmentation algorithms and techniques widely used so far. The comparison of the algorithms will give a clear explanation about the features included in image segmentation process of medical images.
