I have an image with similar background color and foregorund color. I want to segment the footprint part and leave out background.

It would be very helpful if someone provided me with a code to achieve this.

You can try converting your image into different color spaces and threshold using 3 channels...

But if you want more precision you'll have to move to deep learning ( U net or Mask RCNN)

My first idea was to try using deep learning but I don't have enough training images.

You can create large data by changing images you have ( contrast chnage , rotation , translation ...etc)

For testing... don't train from scratch. Fine-tune an existing model.

Ofcourse, training from scratch doesn't sense when you have small dataset. Thank you for your inputs.

I think its better if you open a new question.
