Welcome to the Image Segmentation tutorial! This guide will walk you through the fundamentals, techniques, and applications of image segmentation in computer vision. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your understanding, here's everything you need to know.

🧠 What is Image Segmentation?

Image segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into multiple segments (sets of pixels) to simplify or analyze it. It's widely used in fields like:

  • 🏥 Medical imaging (e.g., identifying tumors in MRI scans)
  • 🚗 Autonomous driving (e.g., detecting pedestrians and vehicles)
  • 🌍 Remote sensing (e.g., land use classification)
Image Segmentation Overview

🛠️ Common Segmentation Techniques

Here are some popular methods:

  1. U-Net
    A convolutional network architecture designed for biomedical image segmentation.

  2. Mask R-CNN
    Combines object detection and segmentation in a single framework.

  3. DeepLab
    Uses atrous convolution and encoder-decoder structures for semantic segmentation.
