An in-depth overview of the problem of image segmentation within the digital image processing chain. The paper describes various approaches to image segmentation, i.e., region-oriented, line-oriented and hybrid approaches, and later focuses on edge detection as an example of image segmentation by analyzing Canny's ideal formal edge detector introduced in J. Canny, A Computational Approach to Edge Detection, 1986.
