The prime objective of this paper is to implement an efficient improved color image segmentation method using local histogram and region merging technique. The goal of image segmentation is to cluster pixels into salient image regions, i. e. regions corresponding to individual surfaces, objects or natural parts of objects. Segmentation can be used for object recognition, occlusion boundary estimation within motion or stereo systems, image compression, image editing or image database look-up. Usually image segmentation is an initial and vital step in a series of processes aimed at overall image understanding. There are various techniques for image segmentation. In this research paper, a thorough work has done on the average local histogram of three different color spaces RGB, HSV & Lab. After that k-means clustering and labeling have done on the image for final segmentation.
