Automatic Foreground Extraction Based on Difference of Gaussian
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel algorithm for automatic foreground extraction based on difference of Gaussian (DoG) is presented. In our algorithm, DoG is employed to find the candidate keypoints of an input image in different color layers. Then, a keypoints filter algorithm is proposed to get the keypoints by removing the pseudo-keypoints and rebuilding the important keypoints. Finally, Normalized cut (Ncut) is used to segment an image into several regions and locate the foreground with the number of keypoints in each region. Experiments on the given image data set demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

Automatic Foreground Extraction of Head Shoulder Images
Most existing techniques of foreground extracting work only in interactive mode. This paper introduces a novel algorithm of automatic foreground extraction for special object, and verifies its effectiveness with head shoulder images. The main contribution of our idea is to make the most use of the prior knowledge to constrain the processing of foreground extraction. For human head shoulder imag...
متن کاملIterative local-global energy minimization for automatic extraction of object of interest
In this paper, we propose a novel variational energy formulation for image segmentation. Traditional variational energy formulation for image segmentation like that in [1] only incorporates local region potentials with a Gaussian distribution on each region. We argue that for segmentation of natural objects, Gaussian mixture model (GMM) needs to be adopted to capture the appearance variation of...
متن کاملEnhancement of Learning Based Image Matting Method with Different Background/Foreground Weights
The problem of accurate foreground estimation in images is called Image Matting. In image matting methods, a map is used as learning data, which is produced by those pixels that are definitely foreground, definitely background ,and unknown. This three-level pixel map is often referred to as a trimap, which is produced manually in alpha matte datasets. The true class of unknown pixels will be es...
متن کاملFingerprint Segmentation
In this thesis, a new algorithm has been proposed to segment the foreground of the fingerprint from the image under consideration. The algorithm uses three features, mean, variance and coherence. Based on these features, a rule system is built to help the algorithm to efficiently segment the image. In addition, the proposed algorithm combine split and merge with modified Otsu. Both enhancements...
متن کاملPrecise Object Contour Detection Using Variable Block-based Video Foreground Segmentation in Transform Domain
A precise object contour detection based on foreground segmentation in a video sequence is proposed. Our method employs a set of block-based Gaussian mixture models (GMM) on different block sizes, followed by foreground object contour extraction, which is based on Walsh transform (WT) domain. Every background model has different spatial and temporal correlations, and exploits WT-based feature p...
