Image-Recognition Segmentation
Image recognition works best when the target object nearly fills the image frame.
When the digital cameras are some distance from the target, such as with aerial-mounted cameras on aircraft, helicopters and drones, the target will be relatively small within the images taken. To provide the highest probability of recognizing the target these images should be segmented so that the target nearly fills the segment.
