    摘要: An image segmentation method includes generating a hierarchy of regions by unsupervised segmentation of an input image. Each region is described with a respective region feature vector representative of the region. Hierarchical structures are identified, each including a parent region and its respective child regions in the hierarchy. Each hierarchical structure is described with a respective hierarchical feature vector that is based on the region feature vectors of the respective parent and child regions. The hierarchical structures are classified according to a set of predefined classes with a hierarchical classifier component that is trained with hierarchical feature vectors of hierarchical structures of training images. The training images have semantic regions labeled according to the set of predefined classes. The input image is segmented into a plurality of semantic regions based on the classification of the hierarchical structures and optionally also on classification of the individual regions.

    摘要: A method for segmenting an image includes extracting unary potentials for pixels of the input image. These can be based for each of a set of possible labels, on information for a first channel in the image, such as in the visible range of the spectrum. Pairwise potentials are extracted for neighboring pairs of pixels of the image. These can be based on information for a second channel in the image, such as in the infrared range of the spectrum. An objective function is optimized over pixels of the input image to identify labels for the pixels. The objective function is based on a combination of ones of the extracted unary and pairwise potentials. The image is then segmented, based on the identified pixel labels. The method and system can provide an improvement in segmentation over methods which use only the visible information.

    摘要: A document processing system and method are disclosed. In the method local scores are incrementally computed for document samples, based on local features extracted from the respective sample. A global score is estimated for the document based on the local scores currently computed, i.e., on fewer than all document samples. A confidence in a decision for the estimated global score is computed. The computed confidence is based on the local scores currently computed and, optionally, the number of samples used in computing the estimated global score. A classification decision, such as a categorization or retrieval decision for the document is output, based on the estimated score when the computed confidence in the decision reaches a threshold value.
