Abstract:

Scene segmentations based on the pixel classifying calculation are complicated, and they use insufficient features, thus resulting in a low accuracy, so a new model is proposed to overcome these shortcomings,which is to learn these geometric classes based on multi-visual features of super-pixels. First, various features are extracted from the super-pixels of an input image. These features are used for classifying the super-pixels. Then the difference between the adjacent super-pixels is calculated to predict their consistency. The initial classification result and the consistency are synthesized to the Markov Random Field energy function, which is then minimized based on the graph-cuts algorithm to get the final labels of the super-pixels. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of the multi-visual features and the optimization method proposed, with superior performance achieved for traffic scenes.
