Electronics and Communication Department, L. D. College of Engineering jhanvishah59@gmail.com Abstract–Computer Vision is growing day by day in terms of user specific applications. The first step of any such application is segmenting an image. In this paper, we propose a novel and grass-root level image segmentation algorithm for cases in which the background has uniform color distribution. This algorithm can be used for …show more content…

INTRODUCTION
Image Segmentation is the first and an essential part of any computer vision problem. Due to the possibility of Computer Vision being applied to various day to day problems faced by humans, new methods to tackle them have become important. Image segmentation basically means extracting key information from an image for further processing while discarding the rest.
At the very beginning, we have proposed a new algorithm for image segmentation based on color details of an image. Our algorithm can be applied efficiently to those cases where major contributing feature of the subject is color and when there exists some amount of contrast between foreground and background. This algorithm follows an iterative approach for background removal thereby highlighting the subject.
We have performed experiments and have used our image segmentation algorithm on the Oxford University 102 Flower Category Database[1] and then further applied it to images from the Visipedia CUB 200-2011[2] Dataset. We got fine results in which the background of the image was completely removed and key foreground data was extracted.
