Analysis of segmentation scheme for diseased rice leaves

Abstract

For any automated image analysis process, the segmentation is an important task because all subsequent tasks in image processing heavily rely on the quality of image segmentation. It determines the eventual success or failure of the analysis. The problem in image segmentation occurs when an image has a varying gray level background. There are several algorithms and methods are available for image segmentation, but there is a need to develop a unique method for it. In this paper, some of the image segmentation algorithms are compared to segment the diseased portion of rice leaves.
