Unsupervised Method of Object Retrieval Using Similar Region Merging and Flood Fill
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
In this work; we address a novel interactive framework for object retrieval using unsupervised similar region merging and flood fill method which models the spatial and appearance relations among image pixels. Efficient and effective image segmentation is usually very hard for natural and complex images. This paper presents a new technique for similar region merging and objects retrieval. The users only need to roughly indicate the after which steps desired objects boundary is obtained during merging of similar regions. A novel similarity based region merging mechanism is proposed to guide the merging process with the help of mean shift technique. A region R is merged with its adjacent regions Q if Q has highest similarity with R among all Q’s adjacent regions. The proposed method automatically merges the regions that are initially segmented through mean shift technique, and then effectively extracts the object contour by merging all similar regions. Extensive experiments are performed on 22 object classes (524 images total) show promising results.
