Another important subject within computer vision is image segmentation. It is the process of dividing an image into different regions based on the characteristics of pixels to identify objects or boundaries to simplify an image and more efficiently analyze it. Segmentation impacts a number of domains, from the filmmaking industry to the field of medicine. For instance, the software behind green screens implements image segmentation to crop out the foreground and place it on a background for scenes that cannot be shot or would be dangerous to shoot in real life 2, record 1, English, - image%20segmentation

La segmentation d'images constitue la base de nombreuses tâches de vision par ordinateur[,] comme la détection d'objets et la classification d'images. C'est une méthode qui consiste à diviser une image en sous-groupes. Cette division s'effectue habituellement en fonction du contour ou des limites visibles des objets dans une image afin d'en réduire la complexité. [...] La segmentation d'images a plusieurs utilités dans les domaines des véhicules autonomes, de l'analyse d'images médicales et d'images satellites, de la vidéosurveillance et d'autres tâches de reconnaissance et de détection. 1, record 1, French, - segmentation%20d%27images

With the help of traditional and large-scale fishers, the project consists of testing net prototypes that reduce the negative effects of trawling on marine biodiversity while still catching shrimp. [The] project's [goal] is to address the negative impacts of shrimp trawling while considering ecological well-being, economic growth, and food security. Therefore, while those involved in the project are working to decrease the number of discarded sea creatures, they are also trying to put a commercial and/or food value on all creatures that are caught. 2, record 2, English, - shrimp%20trawling

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The technology of pneumatic impact wrenches is different from that of other portable fastening machines with rotor stalling which operate on the basis of the dynamic stall torque. After a certain movement of the rotor and of the moving masses, all or most of the rotational kinetic energy is transformed in the form of impacts. These impacts are received tangentially on the output shaft, which is not directly mechanically linked with the rotor, thus creating a succession of instantaneous rotational torques of irregular values which are transmitted to the part to be screwed. The number of impacts per revolution would depend on the design of the impact wrench. 1, record 3, English, - pneumatic%20impact%20wrench
