Abstract. Image matting and segmentation are two closely related topics that concern extracting the foreground and background of an image. While the methods based on global optimiz...
Topology is an important prior in many image segmentation tasks. In this paper, we design and implement a novel graph-based min-cut/max-flow algorithm that incorporates topology p...
We study hierarchical segmentations that are optimal in the sense of minimal spanning forests of the original image. We introduce a region-merging operation called uprooting, and w...
Interactive segmentation is useful for selecting objects of interest in images and continues to be a topic of much study. Methods that grow regions from foreground/background seed...
Abstract. A new algorithm for interactive image segmentation is proposed. Besides the traditional appearance and gradient information, a new Generic Shape Prior (GSP) knowledge whi...
