A MATLAB-based image processing project that explores and compares various image segmentation techniques, including Edge-Based, Region-Based, Morphological, Watershed, and Clustering-Based methods. The project demonstrates the implementation of these algorithms, analyzes their performance, and highlights their applications in medical imaging, computer vision, satellite imaging, and object detection.
Image segmentation is one of the fundamental tasks in digital image processing. It involves dividing an image into meaningful regions, making it easier to analyze, interpret, and extract useful information. Different segmentation techniques perform differently depending on image characteristics such as intensity, texture, color, and noise.
This project focuses on implementing multiple image segmentation algorithms in MATLAB using the Image Processing Toolbox. Each technique is applied to sample images, and its strengths, limitations, and practical applications are analyzed. Comparative analysis is performed to evaluate accuracy, computational efficiency, and suitability for different image processing tasks.
