In Graph cuts and efficient N-D image segmentation by Boykov and Funka-Lea, the authors described in great detail how to define a graph based on an image. Our implementation closely follows their idea of constructing the graph. For simplicity, we will use grayscale square images.

As applied in the field of computer vision, graph cut optimization can be employed to efficiently solve a wide variety of low-level computer vision problems (early vision[1]), such as image smoothing, the stereo correspondence problem, image segmentation, object co-segmentation, and many other computer vision problems that can be formulated in t...

2023年6月19日 · The main objective of GBS is to divide an image into separate regions, each one representing a segment in the image. Moreover, GBS uses graph partitioning algorithms aiming to reduce the cost of separating segments in the image by minimizing the total weight of the edges that need to be cut.

• Computing segmentation with graph cuts • Segmentation benchmark, evaluation criteria • Image segmentation cues, and combination • Muti-grid computation, and cue aggregation

introduce the concept of a normalized graph cut, and further describe an effective image segmentation algorithm using the normalized cut to separate pixels into clusters (Shi and Malik 2000).

Graph cuts has emerged as a preferred method to solve a class of energy minimiza-tion problems such as Image Segmentation in computer vision. Boykov et.al[3] have posed Image Segmentation problem as Energy Minimization in Markov Random Field and found approximately minimum solution using Graph cuts.

We present motivation and detailed technical description of the basic combinatorial optimization framework for image segmentation via s/t graph cuts.

In this paper, the main aim is to help researcher to easily understand the graph cut based segmentation approach. We also classify this method into three categories. They are speed up-based graph cut, interactive-based graph cut and shape prior-based graph cut.

Visualizes images in 3-dimensions: x, y, and intensity. Object is distinguished from the background by its up-lifted edges. Give segments with continuous boundaries, also give rise to over-segmentation. Image is partitioned into connected regions by grouping neighboring pixels of similar intensity levels.
