Various research studies have been conducted in the field of Image Segmentation over the last few decades. While some of the studies have tried to overcome the shortcomings of the previous methods of segmentation, some of them have focused new and unique applications of image segmentation, through their own innovation. This paper reviews some of the most prominent research contributions on this topic of image segmentation. A summary of the objectives and applications of each method is explained in a way to give sufficient information about the crux of the matter. The reviews are arranged in a chronological order, so as to highlight the evolution of the study material and addition of various innovative techniques. The robustness and effectiveness of each method, based on the conducted experiments and obtained results are mentioned. Also, the demerits of the methods, cost factors, future scope and other parameters are discussed wherever required.
