Chapter 8. Detecting Shapes and Segmenting an Image
In this chapter, we are going to learn about shape analysis and image segmentation. We will learn how to recognize shapes and estimate the exact boundaries. We will discuss how to segment an image into its constituent parts using various methods. We will learn how to separate the foreground from the background as well.
By the end of this chapter, you will know:
- What is contour analysis and shape matching
- How to match shapes
