Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Mathematics - Applied Mathematics, grade: 1,0, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Angewandte Mathematik III), language: English, abstract: Segmentation is used to locate boundaries of an object in a given image. Finding those boundaries is important e.g. for visualizing three dimensional objects and measuring their surface or volume. Ideally, the boundaries coincide with the edges seen in the image. However, due to noise, partly missing information or in case of subjective contours the edges can be irregular and discontinuous....
