<span lang="EN-US">Region-based color image segmentation is elementary steps in image processing and computer vision. Color image segmentation is a region growing approach in which RGB color image is divided into the different cluster based on their pixel properties. The region-based color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, in which three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimension and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. This paper introduced an improved algorithm MMFO (Modified Moth Flame Optimization) Algorithm for RGB color image Segmentation which is based on bio-inspired techniques for color image segmentation. The simulation results of MMFO for region based color image segmentation are performed better as compared to PSO and GA, in terms of computation times for all the images. The experiment results of this method gives clear segments based on the different color and the different no. of clusters is used during the segmentation process.</span>

This paper presents a comparative study using different color spaces to evaluate the performance of color image segmentation using the automatic GrabCut technique. GrabCut is considered as one of the semiautomatic image segmentation techniques, since it requires user interaction for the initialization of the segmentation process. The automation of the GrabCut technique is proposed as a modification of the original semiautomatic one in order to eliminate the user interaction. The automatic GrabCut utilizes the unsupervised Orchard and Bouman clustering technique for the initialization phase. Comparisons with the original GrabCut show the efficiency of the proposed automatic technique in terms of segmentation, quality, and accuracy. As no explicit color space is recommended for every segmentation problem, automatic GrabCut is applied withRGB,HSV,CMY,XYZ, andYUVcolor spaces. The comparative study and experimental results using different color images show thatRGBcolor space is the best color space representation for the set of the images used.

Combined with the composition characteristics of forest fire image background when the forest fire occurred during different time periods of night and day, different image segmentation methods were applied to the forest fire color images of different time periods respectively, which could improve the efficiency of image processing. Meanwhile, application of H and S components from HSV color space, the strategy on color image segmentation which processed the segmentation processing to forest fire color images with complicated background was proposed combined with Otsu algorithm. The results of simulation experiment showed that the above-mentioned segmentation methods were obtained satisfactory segmentation effects when the segmentation on forest fire color images during different time periods of night and day were processed respectively. And also application of Otsu algorithm based on HSV color model, the forest fire image segmentation occurred in the daytime was processed, which overcame the interference factors of light and smoke, as well as the shortage of noise sensibility due to Otsu algorithm.
