A Survey of Image Segmentation based on Artificial Intelligence and Evolution...IOSR Journals
Abstract : In image analysis, segmentation is the partitioning of a digital image into multiple regions (sets of
pixels), according to some homogeneity criterion. The problem of segmentation is a well-studied one in
literature and there are a wide variety of approaches that are used. Different approaches are suited to different
types of images and the quality of output of a particular algorithm is difficult to measure quantitatively due to
the fact that there may be much correct segmentation for a single image. Image segmentation denotes a process
by which a raw input image is partitioned into nonoverlapping regions such that each region is homogeneous
and the union of any two adjacent regions is heterogeneous. A segmented image is considered to be the highest
domain-independent abstraction of an input image. Image segmentation is an important processing step in many
image, video and computer vision applications. Extensive research has been done in creating many different
approaches and algorithms for image segmentation, but it is still difficult to assess whether one algorithm
produces more accurate segmentations than another, whether it be for a particular image or set of images, or
more generally, for a whole class of images.

This document summarizes various image segmentation techniques including region-based, edge-based, thresholding, feature-based clustering, and model-based segmentation. It provides details on each technique, including advantages and disadvantages. Region-based segmentation groups similar pixels into regions while edge-based segmentation detects boundaries between regions. Thresholding uses threshold values from histograms to segment images. Feature-based clustering groups pixels based on characteristics like intensity. Model-based segmentation uses probabilistic models like Markov random fields.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes an algorithm for detecting brain tumors in MRI images based on analyzing bilateral symmetry. The algorithm first performs preprocessing like smoothing and contrast enhancement. It then identifies the bilateral symmetry axis of the brain. Next, it segments the image into symmetric regions, enhancing asymmetric edges that may indicate a tumor. Experiments showed the algorithm can automatically detect tumor positions and boundaries. The algorithm leverages the fact that brain MRI of a healthy person is nearly bilaterally symmetric, while a tumor disrupts this symmetry.
Massive Regional Texture Extraction for Aerial and Natural ImagesIOSR Journals
The document presents a proposed method called Massive Regional Texture Extraction (MRTE) for segmenting natural and aerial images. The MRTE method uses local thresholding and seeded region growing to extract textured regions from images. It maintains a lookup table to control pixel homogeneity during region growth. The algorithm provides less user interaction while achieving sharp demarcation of edges and intensity levels. Experimental results on natural and aerial image datasets show MRTE increases segmented homogeneous regions by 40-50% and pixels in segmented images by 50-60% compared to existing seeded growing methods. The proposed method effectively segments images into precise homogeneous regions for applications like content-based image retrieval.
International Journal of Computational Engineering Research(IJCER) ijceronline
This document presents a hybrid methodology for classifying segmented images using both unsupervised and supervised classification techniques. The proposed methodology involves first segmenting the image into spectrally homogeneous regions using region growing segmentation. Then, a clustering algorithm is applied to the segmented regions for initial classification. Selected regions are used as training data for a supervised classification algorithm to further categorize the image. The hybrid approach combines the benefits of unsupervised clustering and supervised classification. The methodology is evaluated on natural and aerial images to compare its performance to existing seeded region growing and texture extraction segmentation methods.

Color Image Segmentation Technique Using “Natural Grouping” of PixelsCSCJournals
This paper focuses on the problem Image Segmentation which aims at sub dividing a given image into its constituent objects. Here an unsupervised method for color image segmentation is proposed where we first perform a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) based “natural grouping” of the image pixels to find out the clusters of the pixels having RGB values within a certain range present in the image. Then the pixels nearest to the centers of those clusters are found out and marked as the seeds. They are then used for region growing based image segmentation purpose. After that a region merging based segmentation method having a suitable threshold is performed to eliminate the effect of over segmentation that may still persist after the region growing method. This proposed method is unsupervised as it does not require any prior information about the number of regions present in a given image. The experimental results show that the proposed method can find homogeneous regions present in a given image efficiently.

Results show EFCMC improves the quality index compared to k-means clustering and fuzzy c-means clustering.
COLOUR BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING HYBRID KMEANS WITH WATERSHED SEGMENTATIONIAEME Publication
Image processing, arbitrarily manipulating an image to achieve an aesthetic standard or to support a preferred reality. The objective of segmentation is partitioning an image into distinct regions containing each pixels with similar attributes. Image segmentation can be done using thresholding, color space segmentation, k-means clustering.
Segmentation is the low-level operation concerned with partitioning images by determining disjoint and homogeneous regions or, equivalently, by finding edges or boundaries. The homogeneous regions, or the edges, are supposed to correspond, actual objects, or parts of them, within the images. Thus, in a large number of applications in image processing and computer vision, segmentation plays a fundamental role as the first step before applying to images higher-level operations such as recognition, semantic interpretation, and representation. Until very recently, attention has been focused on segmentation of gray-level images since these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to take the computer resources to handle. Nowadays, color image has definitely displaced monochromatic information and computation power is no longer a limitation in processing large volumes of data. In this paper proposed hybrid k-means with watershed segmentation algorithm is used segment the images. Filtering techniques is used as noise filtration method to improve the results and PSNR, MSE performance parameters has been calculated and shows the level of accuracy
Analysis of Digital Image Forgery Detection using Adaptive Over-Segmentation ...IRJET Journal
This document proposes two methods for detecting forged regions in digital images: adaptive over-segmentation and feature point matching. Adaptive over-segmentation divides the host image into irregular, non-overlapping blocks to reduce computational complexity compared to overlapping blocks. Feature points are then extracted from each block using SIFT and matched between blocks to identify labeled feature points that indicate suspected forgery regions. Finally, a forgery region extraction algorithm processes the labeled feature points and applies morphological operations to detect the forged regions in the host image. The proposed methods aim to address limitations of prior blocked-based forgery detection techniques by improving efficiency and ability to handle geometric transformations of forged areas.
An efficient method for recognizing the low quality fingerprint verification ...IJCI JOURNAL
In this paper, we propose an efficient method to provide personal identification using fingerprint to get better accuracy even in noisy condition. The fingerprint matching based on the number of corresponding minutia pairings, has been in use for a long time, which is not very efficient for recognizing the low quality fingerprints. To overcome this problem, correlation technique is used. The correlation-based fingerprint verification system is capable of dealing with low quality images from which no minutiae can be extracted reliably and with fingerprints that suffer from non-uniform shape distortions, also in case of damaged and partial images. Orientation Field Methodology (OFM) has been used as a preprocessing module, and it converts the images into a field pattern based on the direction of the ridges, loops and bifurcations in the image of a fingerprint. The input image is then Cross Correlated (CC) with all the images in the cluster and the highest correlated image is taken as the output. The result gives a good recognition rate, as the proposed scheme uses Cross Correlation of Field Orientation (CCFO = OFM + CC) for fingerprint identification.

Region-based color image segmentation is elementary steps in image processing and computer vision. The region-based color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, in which three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimension and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. This paper introduced, an improved algorithm modified moth flame optimization (MMFO) algorithm for RGB color image segmentation which is based on bio-inspired techniques. The simulation results of MMFO for region based color image segmentation are performed better as compared to PSO and GA, in terms of computation times for all the images. The experiment results of this method gives clear segments based on the different color and the different number of clusters is used during the segmentation process.

Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.

Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.

Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

I. INTRODUCTION
In the field of computer vision, the division of the image into
small segments is called image segmentation. The image for
the segmentation process is digital in nature. The importance
of the image segmentation is to obtain more specific,
accurate, easy to understand and easy to analyze image.
The collection of the segment of the image makes complete
image. The pixels of a segment of the image are similar with
respect to the color of the pixels, texture of the pixels and
intensity of the pixels.
Various techniques of the image segmentation are mentioned

of the object from the image a closed region boundary is
required. The edge based segmentation can be applied
on the information granules that are crisp pixel region.
b) Fuzzy theory based segmentation- In the fuzzy based
segmentation of the image there is use of the
morphological opening and closing of the operation that
smoothen the image for performing gradient operations
on the final image.

II. RELATED WORK
In [1] the author has discussed about different techniques and
methods of image segmentation those are useful in the
different fields of the science such as in the medical science,
for the recognition process of the object and pattern in the
image. The techniques described by the author are-
1) Image segmentation based on edge detection
❖ Roberts edge detection
❖ Sobel edge detection
❖ Prewitt edge detection
2) Image segmentation based on thresholding method
• Global thresholding method
• Variable thresholding method
• Multiple thresholding method
3) Image segmentation based on region
• Region growing method
• Region splitting and merging
4) Image segmentation based on clustering
• K-mean
• Fuzzy K-mean
In [2] the author of the paper has described about approaches
for segmentation of the image that are classified as-
a) Local segmentation of the image and
b) Global segmentation of the image.
There are two approaches of the image segmentation on the
basics of the properties of the image. Those approaches are
i. Discontinuity detection approach for image segmentation
ii. Similarity detection approach for image segmentation
In [3] the author has presented the work in which the author
has explained the use of image segmentation in the field of
the ultrasonic for the accuracy in the detection of the damage
in the c-scan of the complex image. The techniques of the
image segmentation that are used for the C-Scan in ultrasonic
testing are-
a) Threshold technique
b)Edge detection technique
c) Region based technique
d)Clustering technique

In [4] the author has discussed about the use of image
segmentation for the deep learning in the field of the M.R.I.
The ventricle segmentation is used in the field of MR and
ultrasound. The important role of the ventricle segmentation
is to describe the innermost tissue or layer and membrane that
are attached to the wall of the heart of LV/RV. This
segmentation is also important for obtaining clinical details
such as LVEDV that is left ventricular end-diastolic volume.
In [5] the author has specially focused on the techniques of
clustering for the segmentation of the image. The process of
clustering has made segmentation of the image more
effective. Different clustering techniques are-
a) Relevance feedback clustering
b) Log based clustering
c) Hierarchical clustering
d) Retrieval dictionary based clustering
e) K-mean algorithm clustering
f) N-cut algorithm clustering
In [6] the author explained different techniques for the
segmentation of the image. In the review work the author has
come to outcome that there is no prefect technique for the
segmentation of the image. The method for the segmentation
of the image is based on-
a) Pixel of the image
b) Color of the image
c) Texture of the image
d) Intensity of the image
e) Similarity of the image
f) Content of the image
g) Problem domain of the image
In [7] the author has explained the use of image segmentation
algorithms for detection of the disease in the plants leaf. The
techniques of the image segmentation are tested on the plants
such as banana, beans, jackfruit, lemon, mango, potato,
tomato and sapota.
In [8] the author has explained the use of the segmentation of
the image in the field of the medical science. The
segmentation process is used for medical therapy device. The
segmentation of the image saves lots of time and is a good
replacement for the manual drawing by the surgeon. In
medical science the segmentation process is categorized as
automatic and semi-automatic techniques of image
segmentation or they are known as bottom-up segmentation
and top-down segmentation of the image. In automatic
segmentation of the image there is no human involvement for
the segmentation process of the image. In automatic
segmentation slit and merge is involved. In semi-automatic
segmentation there is human interact for the segmentation
process of the image.
In [9] the author has explained that there is no global
technique for the segmentation of the image. For every image
different technique is required for the segmentation process
of the image. The author divides segmentation process as
block image segmentation method. The segmentation of the
image undergoes several decisions making. In the field of the
image processing the image segmentation process is highly
challenging process.
In [10] the author has presented a technique of image
segmentation that is known as shape-based segmentation of

the image. This segmentation is also known as fuzzy
clustering for image segmentation using generic shape
information. By fuzzy clustering method of segmentation
high-rated quality of the segmentation of the image is
performed.
In [11] the author has focused on two methods pre-processing
of the image and segmentation of the image. The use of filters
such as histogram, gabour helps in improving the different
pre-processing methods of the image. The segmentation
methods are known to be simplest method for segmentation
of the image such as thresholding, region based method but
there application is very less. For the improvement of the
technique other techniques are merged such as fuzzy C-mean.
In [12] the author has explained that for analysis of the image,
segmentation is the basis step that is low level processing to
digital image processing. The basis of the image
segmentation is related to the grey level image. The extension
for the grey level segmentation is color segmentation of the
image. There are few grey level segmentation method that
can’t be directly transformed to the color segmentation of the
image.
In [13] the author tells that for the study of the signal
processing technique and applications image segmentation is
used. The use of the segmentation is to find shape and
position of the image according to appearance of the
information. The use of the segmentation of the image is to
find out objects for object-based measurement that is shape
and size and in object-based video compression for
identifying object in moving scene.
In [14] the author has described the system for adaptive color
image segmentation. The use of adaptive multiple levels if
thresholding method for segmentation of the image is
explained by the author. Several tests were performed on
different images using ACIS.

In [15] the author has referred unsupervised method such
as cluster based algorithm for the segmentation of the image.
Different cluster based algorithm were examined on different
images. These algorithms are k-mean, improved k-mean,
fuzzy c mean, improved fuzzy c mean. The k-mean algorithm
takes less time for the result of the segmentation for the image
but gives poor results.
III. CONCLUSION
In this review paper we have referred through different
papers published by different authors. In these papers
different authors have explained various methods, algorithms
and techniques for the image segmentation. The use of the
image segmentation process in the different field of the
present such as in the medical science, in identifying different
diseases in the plants leaf, finding specific shapes and figures
from the image etc. are also explained.
In the coming time the use of the image segmentation is
going to be very important for any kind of research work and
in finding results to the problems.
For the better image segmentation results, the use of
clustering technique is very helpful. It increases the
efficiency of the information retrieval process.
We came to conclusion that there is no specific method for
image segmentation but for the proper segmentation process
we need to use hybrid of two or more techniques of image
segmentation for better results.
The authors have given us the extension for the grey level
image segmentation that is use of color image segmentation
that provides us rich information related to the image.
IV. FUTURE WORK
In future work of our study we will explore on new
techniques of the image segmentation. The techniques that
are described by the other authors have some disadvantage.
They are not very specific in extracting information from the
image. So we will focus on the techniques of the image
segmentation that can give best results. The results will be
useful for the different fields such as in the area computer
vision, medical science and knowing color, shape, texture of
the image. In the upcoming work we will study how hybrid of
image segmentation technique can be useful for receiving
best version of the outcome that can be more useful for
solving problems.
