In this paper we present a novel class-based segmentation method, which is guided by a stored representation of the shape of objects within a general class (such as horse images). ...
We construct an image segmentation scheme that combines top-down (TD) with bottom-up (BU) processing. In the proposed scheme, segmentation and recognition are intertwined rather th...
Bottom-up segmentation based only on low-level cues is a notoriously difficult problem. This difficulty has lead to recent top-down segmentation algorithms that are based on class-...
Abstract. Bottom-up approaches, which rely mainly on continuity principles, are often insufficient to form accurate segments in natural images. In order to improve performance, rec...
