In this paper, it is intended to summarize and discuss the methods of Segmentation for textured images in various applications of image processing. In particular, the problem of real time approaches for textured images is analyzed and their performances are studied and discussed. The main aim of segmentation is to locate objects of interest based on the available criteria and is sometimes a computer vision problem. But many important segmentation algorithms are too simple to solve this problem accurately. They compensate for this limitation with their predictability, generality, and efficiency.
