Abstract: Image segmentation is the foremost step in several applications of computer vision. The major goal of the segmentation process is to partition an image into multiple regions or set of pixels that are homogeneous with respect to one or more features or characteristics, such as texture, colour or intensity. The adjacent regions are significantly different with respect to the same characteristics. The segmentation is an important tool in the medical domain and it has been useful in many applications. This paper provides a overall view about various image segmentation techniques applied to ultrasound images.
