چکیده

We present an integrated approach for contour-based grouping and object recognition. Domain knowledge and domainindependent grouping laws are combined in a multi-layered Markov Random Field framework. It provides a basis for propagating top-down knowledge between different processing cues or input modalities. Additionally, the domain dependent MRF-layer can be used in order to evaluate the grouping process with regard to relevant contours for object recognition. Initial results show the approach to be adequate for complex scenes and partially occluded objects.

Multiscale Random Fields with Application to Contour Grouping

We introduce a new interpretation of multiscale random fields (MSRFs) that admits efficient optimization in the framework of regular (single level) random fields (RFs). It is based on a new operator, called append, that combines sets of random variables (RVs) to single RVs. We assume that a MSRF can be decomposed into disjoint trees that link RVs at different pyramid levels. The append operator...

Application of Combined Local Object Based Features and Cluster Fusion for the Behaviors Recognition and Detection of Abnormal Behaviors

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for behaviors recognition and detection of certain types of abnormal behaviors, capable of achieving high detection rates on a variety of real-life scenes. The new proposed approach here is a combination of the location based methods and the object based ones. First, a novel approach is formulated to use optical flow and binary motion video as the loc...

Perceptual Grouping of Contour Segments Using Markov Random Fields

The aim of this work is to exploit regular structure in a scene by using the gestalt laws of perception in the eld of computer vision. The statistical result of a hand labelled training set is employed to derive \Areas of perceptual attentiveness". Grouping hypotheses are thus generated based on local evidence. To judge these hypotheses in a more global context a Markov random eld is used. The ...

Perceptual Grouping Using Markov Random Fields and Cue Integration of Contour and Region Information

A common feature of computer vision systems is the use of levels of increasing abstraction to represent intermediate results and thus successively bridging the gap between raw image data and the nal result. To elaborate on such a hierarchical representation we propose a contour-based grouping hierarchy based on principles of perceptual organization. Exploiting regularities in the image, we aim ...

Perceptual grouping of segmented regions in color images

Image segmentation is often the 0rst yet important step of an image understanding system. However, general-purpose image segmentation algorithms that do not rely on speci0c object models still cannot produce perceptually coherent segmentation of regions at a level comparable to humans. Over-segmentation and under-segmentation have plagued the research community in spite of many signi0cant advan...
