Hierarchical Interactive Image Segmentation Using Irregular Pyramids
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe modifications of irregular image segmentation pyramids based on user-interaction. We first build a hierarchy of segmentations by the minimum spanning tree based method, then regions from different (granularity) levels are combined to a final (better) segmentation with user-specified operations guiding the segmentation process. Based on these operations the users can produce a final image segmentation that best suits their applications. This work can be used for applications where we need accuracy in image segmentation and in annotating images and ground truth among others.

Annotated Contraction Kernels for Interactive Image Segmentation
This article shows how the interactive segmentation tool termed “Active Paintbrush” and a fully automatic region merging can both be based on the theoretical framework of contraction kernels within irregular pyramids instead of their own, specialized data structures. We introduce “continous pyramids” in which we purposely drop the common requirement of a fixed reduction factor between successiv...
متن کاملNoise Robustness of Irregular LBP Pyramids
In this paper, we briefly introduce the SCIS algorithm a hierarchical image segmentation approach based on LBP pyramids and evaluate its robustness to uniform, Gaussian, and Poisson distributed additive chromatic noise. Moreover, we study the influence of image properties such as the amount of details and SNR on the segmentation performance. Our evaluation shows that SCIS is robust to Gaussian ...
متن کاملHierarchical Markov Random Fields with Irregular Pyramids for Improving Image Annotation
Image segmentation and Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) are two important areas that still impose challenging problems. Addressing both problems simultaneously may improve their results since they are interdependent. In this paper we give a step ahead in that direction considering different segmentation levels simultaneously and possible contextual relations among segments in order to improve t...
متن کاملImproving Image Segmentation for Boosting Image Annotation with Irregular Pyramids
Image Segmentation and Automatic Image Annotation are two research fields usually addressed independently. Treating these problems simultaneously and taking advantage of each other’s information may improve their individual results. In this work our ultimate goal is image annotation, which we perform using the hierarchical structure of irregular pyramids. We propose a new criterion to create ne...
متن کاملTopology-preserving perceptual segmentation using the Combinatorial Pyramid
Scene understanding and other high-level visual tasks usually rely on segmenting the captured images for dealing with a more efficient mid-level representation. Although this segmentation stage will consider topological constraints for the set of obtained regions (e.g., their internal connectivity), it is typical that the importance of preserving the topological relationships among regions will...
