Abstract
Welcome to the seventh chapter! After discussing shapes and contours in the last chapter, I want to talk about the very important topic of image segmentation, which is one of the most fundamental computer vision problems attracting a lot of research today. We will discuss some of the segmentation algorithms that OpenCV has up its sleeve, and also how you can use other techniques such as morphological operations to make your own custom segmentation algorithm.
