A Review of Enhancement and Segmentation Techniques for Digital Images

Image enhancement and segmentation are the two imperative steps while processing digital images. The goal of enhancement is to improve the quality of images so as to nullify the effect of poor illumination conditions during image acquisition. Afterwards, segmentation is performed to extract region of interest (ROI) from the background details of the image. There is a vast literature available for both the techniques. Therefore, this paper is intended to summarize the basic as well as advanced enhancement and segmentation techniques under a single heading; to provide an insight for future researches in the field of pattern recognition.
