Figure-Ground Segmentation - Pixel-Based
نویسنده
چکیده
Background subtraction is a widely used concept to detect moving objects in videos taken from a static camera. In the last two decades several algorithms have been developed for background subtraction and were used in various important applications such as visual surveillance, sports video analysis, motion capture, etc.Various statistical approaches have been proposed to model scene background. In this chapter we review the concept and the practice in background subtraction. We discuss several basic statistical background subtraction models, including parametric Gaussian models and nonparametric models. We discuss the issue of shadow suppression, which is essential for human motion analysis applications. We also discuss approaches and tradeoffs for background maintenance. We also point out many of the recent developments in background subtraction paradigm

Color 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 کاملSemantic Segmentation of Colon Glands with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Total Variation Segmentation
Segmentation of histopathology sections is an ubiquitous requirement in digital pathology and due to the large variability of biological tissue, machine learning techniques have shown superior performance over standard image processing methods. As part of the GlaS@MICCAI2015 colon gland segmentation challenge, we present a learning-based algorithm to segment glands in tissue of benign and malig...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Texture Segmentation Methods
Various methods have been developed for texture segmentation. Since all of them have their merits and drawbacks, the choice of the most suitable method becomes a nontrivial task. We present a comparative study of texture segmentation methods based on four frequently used texture feature extraction techniques: gray level co-occurrence matrices, Gaussian Markov random fields, Gabor filtering, and...
متن کاملFirst Year Report Learning Class-Specific Segmentation
This report details the work undertaken this year towards class-specific segmentation. The aim is to take an image known to contain an object of a particular class, and return for each pixel a figure-ground segmentation value. A training corpus consisting of images and their ground-truth segmentation masks is used to learn shape and appearance models. Our shape model consists of local shape pat...
