- Image compression
- Segment the image into homogeneous components, and use the most suitable compression algorithm for each component to improve compression.
- Medical diagnosis
- Automatic segmentation of MRI images for identification of cancerous regions.
- Mapping and measurement

Famous quotes containing the word image:
“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.”
—Ansel Adams (1902–1984)
