Automatic Seeded Region Growing Image Segmentation for Medical Image Segmentation: A Brief Review

In the domain of computer technology, image processing strategies have become a part of various applications. A few broadly used image segmentation methods have been characterized as seeded region growing (SRG), edge-based image segmentation, fuzzy [Formula: see text]-means image segmentation, etc. SRG is a quick, strongly formed and impressive image segmentation algorithm. In this paper, we delve into different applications of SRG and their analysis. SRG delivers better results in analysis of magnetic resonance images, brain image, breast images, etc. On the other hand, it has some limitations as well. For example, the seed points have to be selected manually and this manual selection of seed points at the time of segmentation brings about wrong selection of regions. So, a review of some automatic seed selection methods with their advantages, disadvantages and applications in different fields has been presented.
