Image Segmentation

Image Segmentation

Image segmentation is the task of labeling the pixels of objects of interest in an image.

In this tutorial, we will see how to segment objects from a background. We use the coins image from skimage.data. This image shows several coins outlined against a darker background. The segmentation of the coins cannot be done directly from the histogram of grey values, because the background shares enough grey levels with the coins that a thresholding segmentation is not sufficient.
