Abstract

The observation of birds is important not only for academic reasons, but also for the monitoring of preservation areas. An important step for developing a program for automatic recognition of birds is the segmentation of the image, that is, highlighting the bird from the background in a digital image. This paper aims to present a comparative study using methods of segmentation in digital images of birds. In this work, a method based on cellular automata is compared with other method based on active contours.
