Segmenting an image
Image segmentation consists of partitioning an image into different regions that share certain characteristics. This is a fundamental task in computer vision, facial recognition, and medical imaging. For example, an image segmentation algorithm can automatically detect the contours of an organ in a medical image.
scikit-image provides several segmentation methods. In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to segment an image containing different objects.
