  8. The Paper • Figure-Ground segmentation • Solve CPMC by minimizing the objective function using various seeds and parameters • Reject redundancies and obvious negatives based on segment energies and similarities • Learn the characteristics of a ‘Figure’ segment to qualitatively assess the remaining segments

  9. Objective Function

  10. Objective Function

  11. Objective Function

  12. Synthetic Example

  13. Synthetic Example

  14. Initialization • Foreground • Regular 5x5 grid geometry • Centroids of large N-Cuts regions • Centroids of superpixels closest to grid positions • Background • Full image boundary • Horizontal boundaries • Vertical boundaries • All boundaries excluding the bottom one Performance broadly invariant to different initializations

  15. Fast Rejection Large set of initial segmentations (~5500) Low Energy High Energy ~2000 segments with the lowest energy Cluster segments based on spatial overlap Lowest energy member of each cluster (~154)

  16. Segment Ranking • Model data using a host of features • Graph partition properties • Region properties • Gestalt properties • Train a regressor with the largest overlap ground-truth segment using Random Forests • Diversify similar rankings using Maximal Marginal Relevance (MMR)

  17. Graph Partition Properties • Cut – Sum of affinities along segment boundary • Ratio Cut – Sum along boundary divided by the number • Normalized Cut – Sum of cut and affinity in foreground and background • Unbalanced N-cut – N-cut divided by foreground affinity • Thresholded boundary fraction of a cut

  18. Region Properties • Area • Perimeter • Relative Centroid • Bounding Box properties • Fitting Ellipse properties • Eccentricity • Orientation • Convex Area • Euler Number • Diameter of Circle with the same area of the segment • Percentage of bounding box covered • Absolute distance to the center of the image

  19. Gestalt Properties • Inter-region texton similarity • Intra-region texton similarity • Inter-region brightness similarity • Intra-region brightness similarity • Inter-region contour energy • Intra-region contour energy • Curvilinear continuity • Convexity – Ratio of foreground area to convex hull area

  23. What has been modeled?

  24. Databases • Weizmann database • F-measure criterion • MSR-Cambridge database & Pascal VOC2009 • Segmentation covering

  25. Performance

  26. Test of the algorithm • Berkeley segmentation dataset • Complete pool of images collected • Ranked using the ranking methodology • Top ranks evaluated to test the ranking procedure • How well does the algorithm perform?

  27. Berkeley Database Rank 269!

  28. Berkeley Database Rank 142!

  29. Berkeley Database Rank 98!

  30. Berkeley Database • Compute the Segment Covering score for the top 40 segments of each image in the database

  31. Conclusion • Does Constrained Parametric Min-Cuts work well? • Yes • Does Fast Rejection work well? • Yes • Does Segment Ranking work well? • I don’t think so

  32. Interesting follow up Image Segmentation by Figure-Ground Composition into Maximal Clique, Ion, Carreira, Sminchisescu, ICCV 2011

  33. Interesting follow up • Obtain pool of FG segmentations from CPMC • Define tiling and a probabilistic model for the same • Represent the probabilistic models using mid-level features • Compute and rank various tilingsby implementing discrete searches from each of the nodes Image Segmentation by Figure-Ground Composition into Maximal Clique, Ion, Carreira, Sminchisescu, ICCV 2011
