OBJECT CONTOUR COMPLETION BY COMBINING OBJECT RECOGNITION AND LOCAL EDGE CUES

We developed a top-down and bottom-up segmentation ofobjects using shape contours through a two-stage procedure. First, the object was identified using an edge-based contour feature and then the object contour was obtained using a constraint optimization procedure based on the results from the earli...

Description
Summary:We developed a top-down and bottom-up segmentation ofobjects using shape contours through a two-stage procedure. First, the object was identified using an edge-based contour feature and then the object contour was obtained using a constraint optimization procedure based on the results from the earlier identified contours. The initial object detection provides object category specific information for the contour completion to be effected. We argue that top-down bottom-up interaction architecture has plausible neurological correlates. This method has an advantage in that it does not require learning boundaries with large datasets.
