This literature review attempts to provide a brief overview of some of the most common segmentation techniques, and a comparison between them.It discusses Graph based methods, Medical image segmentation research papers and Color Image based Segmentation Techniques. With the growing research on image segmentation, it has become important to categorise the research outcomes and provide readers with an overview of the existing segmentation techniques in each category. In this paper, different image segmentation techniques starting from graph based approach to color image segmentation and medical image segmentation, which covers the application of both techniques, are reviewed.Information about open source software packages for image segmentation and standard databases are provided. Finally, summaries and review of research work for image segmentation techniques along with quantitative comparisons for assessing the segmentation results with different parameters are represented in tabular format, which are the extracts of many research papers.
