Normalized Color Segmentation for Human Appearance Description
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a colour segmentation method based on a normalized colour naming algorithm which removes the effects of the varying conditions due to changes in scene illuminant. Images labelled with the colour name and intensity of small regions are further processed by a region growing step providing a sound segmentation. The method has been tested on a large set of images we get from a surveillance system, whose goal is the automatic retrieval of people from an image database using their appearance description. It is given in terms of placement of the colour regions in clothes. Finally, a quantitative measurement to evaluate the performance of the algorithm has been defined.

Active Shape Models for a Fully Automated 3D Segmentation of the Liver - An Evaluation on Clinical Data
This paper presents an evaluation of the performance of a three-dimensional Active Shape Model (ASM) to segment the liver in 48 clinical CT scans. The employed shape model is built from 32 samples using an optimization approach based on the minimum description length (MDL). Three different gray-value appearance models (plain intensity, gradient and normalized gradient profiles) are created to g...
متن کاملAnalysis of Human Skin Color Images for a Large Set of Color Spaces and for Different Camera Systems
Human skin color is a powerful fundamental cue that can be used in particular, at an early stage, for the important applications of face and hand detection in color images [l] [2], and ultimately, for meaningful human-computer interactions. In this paper, we analyze the distribution of human skin for a large number of chrominance spaces and for skin images recorded with two different camera sys...

متن کاملKernel-based spectral color image segmentation.
In this work, we propose a new algorithm for spectral color image segmentation based on the use of a kernel matrix. A cost function for spectral kernel clustering is introduced to measure the correlation between clusters. An efficient multiscale method is presented for accelerating spectral color image segmentation. The multiscale strategy uses the lattice geometry of images to construct an ima...
متن کاملGrabCut-Based Human Segmentation in Video Sequences
In this paper, we present a fully-automatic Spatio-Temporal GrabCut human segmentation methodology that combines tracking and segmentation. GrabCut initialization is performed by a HOG-based subject detection, face detection, and skin color model. Spatial information is included by Mean Shift clustering whereas temporal coherence is considered by the historical of Gaussian Mixture Models. Moreo...
