segment
segment 1. Originally, a clearly identifiable set of data, or code, that was moved between backing store and main memory under the control of the user. Later the term was applied to a set of data, still clearly visible to the user, that was managed by the operating system as part of the
virtual-memory system. A segment differs from a
page in that its size is not fixed, and the user has a measure of direct control over its management.
2. Part of a program. The word is usually used in the context of storage allocation, as in code segment, data segment.
3. A region of near-uniform intensity in a
gray-level image that represents a distinct entity.
Segmentation is the
image-processing stage that locates and divides up an image into segments.
4. of an Ethernet. A part of an Ethernet that consists of a single length of cable, usually coaxial cable. There are strict limits on the total length of cable that can be used. See
Ethernet,
thick wire.
