Lately, several segmentation algorithms have been developed with features related to thresholding, edge location and region growing Keywords: to offer an opportunity for the development of faster image/video analysis and recognition systems. In Reconfigurable architectures addition, fuzzy-based segmentation algorithms have essentially contributed to synthesis of regions for bet- Image segmentation ter representation of objects. These algorithms have minor differences in their performance and they all Embedded systems perform well. Thus, the selection of one algorithm vs. another will be based on subjective criteria, or, driven by the applicat
