AI GLOSSARY
Image Segmentation
Computer Vision
The task of dividing an image into regions, assigning a label to each pixel or area rather than to the image as a whole. Rather than just identifying that a person is present in an image, segmentation tells you exactly which pixels belong to that person. It is widely used in medical imaging, autonomous vehicles, and satellite analysis.
