Image segmentation is the task of labeling an image at the pixel level, and it underpins much of modern medical imaging, autonomous perception, and scene understanding. Here we break down segmentation architectures, loss functions, and evaluation practices, with frequent attention to the medical settings where boundary accuracy and robustness matter most. Each piece traces the method back to its source research.
