This section explores the integration of segmentation and recognition methods aimed at segmenting specific object categories, such as cows, from images. The objective is to develop efficient, unsupervised techniques that create object-shaped segments and can manage difficulties like self-occlusion. Key approaches reviewed include the Jigsaw method, concurrent recognition and segmentation, and image parsing strategies. Additionally, examples of the application and results of these methods are discussed, highlighting both strengths and potential issues in real-world scenarios.

Aim • Given an image and object category, to segment the object Object Category Model Segmentation Cow Image Segmented Cow • Segmentation should (ideally) be • shaped like the object e.g. cow-like • obtained efficiently in an unsupervised manner • able to handle self-occlusion

Summary • Strength • Explains every pixel of the image • Useful for image editing, layering, etc. • Issues • Invariance issues • (especially) scale, view-point variations
