Structured-Cut: A Max-Margin Feature Selection Framework for Video Segmentation

چکیده

Segmenting a user-specified foreground object in video sequences has received considerable attention over the past decade. State-ofthe-art methods propose the use of multiple cues other than color in order to discriminate foreground from background. These multiple features are combined within a graph-cut optimization framework and segmentation is predominantly performed on a frame by frame basis. An important problem that arises is the relative weighting of each cue before optimizing the energy function. In this paper, I address the problem of determining the weights of each feature for a given video sequence. More specifically, the implicitly validated segmentation at each frame is used to learn the feature weights that reproduce that segmentation using structured learning. These weights are propagated to the subsequent frame and used to obtain its segmentation. This process is iterated over the entire video sequence. The effectiveness of Structured-Cut is qualitatively demonstrated on sample images and video sequences.

Max-Margin Learning of Deep Structured Models for Semantic Segmentation

During the last few years most work done on the task of image segmentation has been focused on deep learning and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in particular. CNNs are powerful for modeling complex connections between input and output data but lack the ability to directly model dependent output structures, for instance, enforcing properties such as smoothness and coherence. This drawback ...

Large-Margin Metric Learning for Partitioning Problems

In this paper, we consider unsupervised partitioning problems, such as clustering, image segmentation, video segmentation and other change-point detection problems. We focus on partitioning problems based explicitly or implicitly on the minimization of Euclidean distortions, which include mean-based change-point detection, K-means, spectral clustering and normalized cuts. Our main goal is to le...

Large-Margin Metric Learning for Constrained Partitioning Problems

We consider unsupervised partitioning problems based explicitly or implicitly on the minimization of Euclidean distortions, such as clustering, image or video segmentation, and other change-point detection problems. We emphasize on cases with specific structure, which include many practical situations ranging from meanbased change-point detection to image segmentation problems. We aim at learni...
