Abstract: Image processing methods stems from processing of images from storing, transmitting and representation for autonomous machine perception. It is widely used technique in all engineering areas including diagnosis and treatment of diseases in Medical Science. Segmentation of non trivial images is one of the most challenging task because it requires more sophisticated method to differentiate between each region. The objective of this paper is to provide comprehensive overview of various segmentation methods used for MRI brain images. Hence, study of existing algorithms is all important for achieving accuracy. First, we briefly discuss about brain tumors, imaging modalities of brain and then several segmentation algorithms surveyed in this work. Complexities of existing algorithms and the segmentation outputs and analysis has also been discussed in observations.
