Image segmentation is the key step from image processing to image analysis, and is an important technique of image engineering. Image segmentation based on transition region is a special or distinctive type of techniques that are different from traditional boundary-based or region-based techniques. Since the first technique using transition region proposed, there are many subsequent related researches and applications, and a series of papers in the literature citing are published worldwide. Using Google Scholar, a number of papers citing the original papers are searched, a study on the statistics of these papers is conducted. These papers are sorted first according to the publishing year, and then grouped according to their purposes and contents (with techniques used). Some questionable issues in these papers are pointed out and critically discussed, and several further research directions are indicated and analyzed.

Image segmentation is the key step in the process from image processing to image analysis. Otsu method is one of the most successful methods for image thresholding because of its simple calculation. Otsu method can select threshold automatically and divide the object from the background in the image. In this paper, various Otsu algorithm are studied.

Image processing is a technique to transform an image into digital form and implement some operations on it; in order to acquire an improved image or to abstract some useful information from it. It is a kind of signal exemption in which input is image, like video frame or photograph and output may be image or characteristics related with that image. Segmentation partitions an image into separate regions comprising each pixel with similar attributes. To be significant and useful for image analysis and clarification, the regions should powerfully relate to depicted objects or features of interest. Meaningful segmentation is the first step from low-level image processing converting a grey scale or color image into one or more other images to high-level image depiction in terms of objects, features, and scenes. The achievement of image analysis depends on reliability of segmentation, but an exact partitioning of an image is mostly a very challenging problem.

Image segmentation is the basis of image analysis, and because of its simplicity, rapidity and stability, the threshold method is the important one, applying in the image processing and recognition widely. In this paper, a new method is proposed, which based on relative entropy coefficients between random variables. It maximizes the target and background, which is the relative entropy coefficient in probability distribution, and gets the optimal threshold of image segmentation, and then optimizes it using particle swarm algorithm which is an evolutionary computation algorithm. The result of relative entropy coefficients for image segmentation proves its feasibility and better effect.

In image processing field, image processing technique is used to distinguish the object from its image scene at pixel level. The image segmentation process is the significant task in the processing of image field as well as in image analysis. The most difficult task in the image analysis field is the automatic separation of object from its background. To alleviate this problem several image segmentation process is introduced are gray level thresholding, edge detection method, interactive pixel classification method, neural network approach and segmentation based on fuzzy approach This chapter presents the multilevel set thresholding method using partition of fuzzy approach on brain image histogram and theory of entropy. The fuzzy entropy method is applied on multi-level brain tumor MRI image segmentation method. The threshold of brain MR image is obtained by optimized the entropy measure. In this method, Differential Evolution technique is used to find the best solution.

Image segmentation is very important in image analysis that needs to separate the related area for the general target distinguishing and analyzing an image, and it can make further use of the target, such as characteristic pick-up and measure on the basis of image processing disposal. In this dissertation, image segmentation based on genetic algorithm will be described. The selection of threshold and the process about image segmentation based on genetic algorithm are described. Finally, image segmentation based on genetic algorithm is used on a picture by Matlab, the result can be accepted. Therefore, it is significant to make analysis on image segmentation based on genetic algorithm.

The basic foundation for the development of the image processing is image segments. Primary analysis, such as analysis of images and visualization of images, begins with segmentation. Image segmentation is one of the important parts of digital image processing. Depending on the accuracy and accuracy of the segmentation, the results of the image analysis, including the size of the object, the size of the object, and so on. In the first section of this study, briefly describe the types of image segments. Also use Mathlab language's powerful modern programming tools to explore the image segmentation methods and compare the results. As a result of the experiment, it is more accurate to accurately measure the trajectory of the image segmentation of the image as a result of the Otsu-based method of B space. This will apply to further research. Өнгөний мэдээлэлд суурилсан дүрс сегментчлэх аргын судалгаа Хураангуй: Дүрс боловсруулах судалгааны ажлын үндсэн суурь нь дүрс сегментчлэл юм.

This paper provides a general overview on the developments and progress in the segmentation of ferrography images. The problems experienced with applying traditional image processing methods in the segmentation of wear particles, revealed that it is still a big challenge for intelligent ferrography. This has highlighted the need for combining the segmentation and clustering methods for performing ferrography image analysis. In this paper, some of the developments reported in the literature relating to progress made with wear particle image segmentation are reported and examined as a basis for establishing improved methods of ferrography image analysis.
