Hold your horses :) Don't run and sign a petition.
"No Animals Were Harmed" during the process of the algorithm.
Image processing tests are painful, only to the one who implements them.

Segmentation

In image analysis, segmentation is the partitioning of a digital image into multiple regions (sets of pixels), according to a given criterion. The goal of segmentation is typically to locate objects of interest and is sometimes considered a computer vision problem. Unfortunately, many important segmentation algorithms are too simple to solve this problem accurately: they compensate for this limitation with their predictability, generality, and efficiency.
