Integration of Edge Detection and Region Analysis for Image Segmentation

New Image

The goal of low-level image analysis in computer vision systems is to determine what objects exist in an image. This goal is realized when, given an image, the computer vision system identifies all objects and describes properties (e.g. boundaries, signal intensities, etc.) of objects in the image. This process of image segmentation may appear to be trivial due to the seemingly effortless manner in which the human vision system performs.
