Image Segmentation

Image segmentation is a computer-vision technique that assigns image pixels to specific objects or regions so their precise shapes and boundaries can be analyzed.

Also known as: Semantic segmentation; instance segmentation; pixel segmentation

Segmentation can help a damage system separate a damaged area from the surrounding panel or identify the exact portion of an image occupied by a vehicle component.

Collision-industry example

A model outlines the pixels belonging to a dent on a door instead of merely placing a rectangular box around the door.
