Computer Vision
Image Segmentation
Teaching an AI to color-code every pixel in an image, identifying exactly where each object begins and ends.
Definition
A computer vision task that classifies every pixel in an image into a category. Semantic segmentation labels pixels by class; instance segmentation distinguishes individual objects of the same class.
Why it matters
Powers medical imaging (tumor boundary detection), autonomous driving (road vs. sidewalk), and satellite imagery analysis.
