Incremental Figure-Ground Segmentation Using Localized Adaptive Metrics in LVQ
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vector quantization methods are confronted with a model selection problem, namely the number of prototypical feature representatives to model each class. In this paper we present an incremental learning scheme in the context of figure-ground segmentation. In presence of local adaptive metrics and supervised noisy information we use a parallel evaluation scheme combined with a local utility function to organize a learning vector quantization (LVQ) network with an adaptive number of prototypes and verify the capabilities on a real world figure-ground segmentation task.

Robust object segmentation by adaptive metrics in Generalized LVQ
We investigate the effect of several adaptive metrics in the context of figure-ground segregation, using Generalized LVQ to train a classifier for image regions. Extending the Euclidean metrics towards local matrices of relevance-factors does not only lead to a higher classification accuracy and increased robustness on heterogeneous/noisy data, but also figureground segregation using this adapt...
متن کاملOnline figure-ground segmentation with adaptive metrics in generalized LVQ
We address the problem of fast figure-ground segmentation of single objects from cluttered backgrounds to improve object learning and recognition. For the segmentation, we use an initial foreground hypothesis to train a classifier for figure and ground on topographically ordered feature maps with Generalized Learning Vector Quantization. We investigate the contribution of several adaptive metri...

We present an approach for hypothesis-based image segmentation founding on the integration of level set methods and discriminative feature clustering techniques. Building up on previous work, we investigate Localized Generalized Matrix Learning Vector Quantization (LGMLVQ) to train a classifier for foreand background of an image. Here we extend this concept towards level set segmentation algori...
متن کاملColor Segmentation and Figure-Ground Segregation of Natural Images
To recognize the objects in an image and to understand the image content, a computer system has to first separate the foreground objects from the background. Image segmentation and figure-ground segregation are, therefore, essential for computer image understanding. This paper describes a system called OLAG (Object-LAyer Grouping) for image segmentation and figure-ground segregation. OLAG consi...
متن کاملCombining Self Training and Active Learning for Video Segmentation
This work addresses the problem of segmenting an object of interest out of a video. We show that video object segmentation can be naturally cast as a semi-supervised learning problem and be efficiently solved using harmonic functions. We propose an incremental self-training approach by iteratively labeling the least uncertain frame and updating similarity metrics. Our self-training video segmen...
