Image Segmentation and Analysis

Region analysis, texture analysis, pixel and image statistics

Image analysis is the process of extracting meaningful information from images such as finding shapes, counting objects, identifying colors, or measuring object properties. The toolbox provides a comprehensive suite of reference-standard algorithms and visualization functions for image analysis tasks such as statistical analysis and property measurement.

Segmentation is a key image analysis process of partitioning an image into multiple segments or regions, often to simplify or change the representation for more meaningful and easier analysis, or as an intermediate image processing step. The toolbox provides a variety of options for image segmentation, including automated algorithms, such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and k-means clustering methods, and semi-automated algorithms, such as graph-based and active contours techniques.

Categories
