Segmentation and classification

Many applications call for the image domain to be split into pieces, each piece corresponding to some entity in the scene, for example, forest or urban area, and in many cases for these pieces to be assigned the appropriate label. These problems too are long-studied, but there is much progress to be made, in particular in the use of prior geometric information.
