Aim: Write a program to analyze the impact of refining feature detection for image
segmentation
Description:
Refining feature detection for image segmentation involves enhancing the quality and
accuracy of the detected features to improve the subsequent segmentation process. Some
techniques commonly used for refining feature detection in the context of image
segmentation are:
Gaussian Blur: Gaussian blur is a technique used to reduce noise and detail in an image
by applying a weighted averaging of pixel values. It involves convolving the image with a
Gaussian kernel, which is a two dimensional matrix of weights. The weights decrease as
you move farther from the center of the kernel. This operation smooths out rapid changes
in intensity and reduces high-frequency noise.
Canny Edge Detection: Canny edge detection is an edge detection algorithm developed
by John Canny in 1986. It aims to identify significant edges in an image by detecting areas
of rapid intensity change. It is known for its ability to accurately detect edges while
suppressing noise and minimizing false positives.
