摘要

Image segmentation is a classic problem in computer vision, and become a hot topic in the field of image understanding. The research actuality and new progress in image segmentation in recent years are summarized in this paper. Firstly, the traditional methods of image segmentation are introduced summarily. Then, the specific theory for image segmentation, including morphology, fuzzy sets and neural network, support vector machine, immune algorithm, graph theory and granular computing, are presented emphatically. Furthermore, several new representative papers with the application of each theory are analyzed and discussed. Finally, the development trend of image segmentation method is discussed.
