title: On the difficulties involved in the segmentation of pictures.
abstract: The problem of picture segmentation is widely believed to be practically unsolvable in its more general case formulation. However, as far as the authors know no formal argumentation has yet been given to this belief related to the segmentation problem. This correspondence provides some theoretical aspects of this phenomenon.
