Segmenting an image
Image segmentation consists of partitioning an image into different regions that share certain characteristics. This is a fundamental task in computer vision, facial recognition, and medical imaging. For example, an image segmentation algorithm can automatically detect the contours of an organ in a medical image.
The scikit-image provides several segmentation methods. In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to segment an image containing different objects. This recipe is inspired by a scikit-image example available at http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/user_guide/tutorial_segmentation.html
