# otbcli\_Segmentation(1)

OTB Segmentation application

## NAME

otbcli\_Segmentation - OTB Segmentation application

## DESCRIPTION

This is the Segmentation application, version 5.2.0 Performs segmentation of an image, and output either a raster or a vector file. In vector mode, large input datasets are supported.
