Abstract
Image segmentation is a primary stage in image processing for identifying objects of interest. Segmentation methods are classified into region based, transform based, edge based and clustering based segmentation. In this paper, segmentation methods including histogram, watershed, Canny edge detector and K-means clustering techniques are studied and analyzed. The experimental results obtained are compared with different evaluation measures including three standard image segmentation indices: rand index, globally consistency error and variation of information.
