Segmentation

Segmentation, also known as classification or labelization, is the process of partitioning an image into multiple segments or sets of voxels that share certain characteristics. The main goal of segmentation is to simplify or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Once a segmentation has been completed, statistics can be easily computed. Another objective of segmentation is to organize an image into higher-level units, such as meshes, graphs, and vector fields, that are more efficient for visualization and further analysis.

Advanced tools, such as the Segmentation Wizard and Deep Learning Tool, are also available in Dragonfly for implementing powerful artificial intelligence solutions for the segmentation of multi-dimensional images (see Artificial Intelligence).
