Morphology

segmentation = segment (transparent) = segment + ation

The computer-vision sense is a technical application but is a straightforward nominalization of 'segment'.

Etymology

Segmentation comes from the Latin word segmentum, from secare 'to cut', and is related to the English word section. In image processing it is like cutting a photo into puzzle pieces so a computer can find each object, so segmentation means separating an image into meaningful parts.
