AN OVERVIEW OF IMAGE SEGMENTATION ALGORITHMS
Image segmentation is a puzzled problem even after four decades of research. Research on image segmentation is currently conducted in three levels. Development of image segmentation methods, evaluation of segmentation algorithms and performance and study of these evaluation methods. Hundreds of techniques have been proposed for segmentation of natural images, noisy images, medical images etc. Currently most of the researchers are evaluating the segmentation algorithms using ground truth evaluation of (Berkeley segmentation database) BSD images. In this paper an overview of various segmentation algorithms is discussed. The discussion is mainly based on the soft computing approaches used for segmentation of images without noise and noisy images and the parameters used for evaluating these algorithms. Some of these techniques used are Markov Random Field (MRF) model, Neural Network, Clustering, Particle Swarm optimization, Fuzzy Logic approach and different combinations of these soft techniques

Intelligent optical methods in image analysis for human detection
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University.This thesis introduces the concept of a person recognition system
for use on an integrated autonomous surveillance camera.
Developed to enable generic surveillance tasks without the need for
complex setup procedures nor operator assistance, this is achieved
through the novel use of a simple dynamic noise reduction and
object detection algorithm requiring no previous knowledge of the
installation environment and without any need to train the system
to its installation.
The combination of this initial processing stage with a novel hybrid
neural network structure composed of a SOM mapper and an MLP
classifier using a combination of common and individual input data
lines has enabled the development of a reliable detection process,
capable of dealing with both noisy environments and partial
occlusion of valid targets.
With a final correct classification rate of 94% on a single image
analysis, this provides a huge step forwards as compared to the
reported 97% failure rate of standard camera surveillance systems
