On fusion of range and intensity information using Graph-Cut for planar patch segmentation

: Planar patch detection aims at simplifying data from 3-D imaging sensors to a more compact scene description. We propose a fusion of intensity and depth information using Graph-Cut methods for this problem. Different known algorithms are additionally evaluated on lowresolution high-framerate image sequences and used as an initialization for the Graph-Cut approach. In experiments we show a significant improvement of the detected patch boundaries after the refinement with our method.
