Object Segmentation

What Is Object Segmentation?

Object segmentation is a computer vision process that identifies and separates individual objects within an image by assigning each pixel to a specific object or background. This technique is essential for tasks requiring precise object detection and classification.

How Does Object Segmentation Work?

Object segmentation involves several key steps to analyze and divide images into meaningful components:

1. Image Preprocessing:
   The input image is cleaned and normalized to enhance quality and reduce noise. This step ensures that the segmentation algorithm works on optimal data.
2. Feature Extraction:
   Advanced algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), analyze the image to identify unique features like edges, textures, and colors. NYRIS’s AI-powered models extract thousands of features per image for precise segmentation.
3. Pixel Classification:
   Each pixel in the image is assigned to a specific category (e.g., object or background) using deep learning techniques like semantic segmentation or instance segmentation. NYRIS applies this technology to differentiate between similar-looking products or parts.

Use Cases

Manufacturing

• Spare Parts Identification: Object segmentation enables rapid identification of spare parts from complex machinery images, reducing downtime by up to 85%.
