A Review on Image Segmentation based on Multi-Agent Systems

Image segmentation has gradually become a major field of research due to the great potential it offers and the benefits it brings to different disciplines such as biology and medicine. As a matter of fact, every year new approaches tackling the problem of image segmentation are being developed whether they are based on classical segmentation techniques or on multi-agent systems. However, they are hardly assorted and classified in order to simplify research and exploration. Therefore, this paper presents a review of different image segmentation methods, though it predominantly focuses on approaches based on multi-agent systems, which enhance and simplify the process of segmentation through the inheritance of agents' characteristics and abilities as well as their interactions within the system.
