Abstract
Images have been widely used in today’s life varying from personal usage with Flickr, Facebook to the analysis of hyperspectral images. Availability of such huge volume of images in digital form requires an automatic analysis on visual content. The major challenge in content labeling is in segmentation, which divides the image into regions. Our work focuses on the segmentation technique that adapts based on regions in the natural images. The proposed method used automatic seed selection by analyzing the dynamic color distribution of the image. The experimental results on datasets show the better performance of our method.
