Automatic Image Segmentation Algorithm via Salient Edge Points
Image segmentation is an essential step in image analysis.A novel model was proposed for unsupervised segmentation of viewers attention object from natural images by using salient object edge points and localizing regionbased active model (LRAC).The salient edge points were firstly detected by the color boosting Harris detector.The core saliency map was then proposed to obtain the foreground seeds from the salient edge points.Thenthe salient object edge points were determined by the foreground seeds.Finallythe salient object edge points were employed as the seeds of convex hull to generate the initial contour for our automatic object segmentation system.Extensive experiments results on a large variety of natural images prove that the proposed model can provide satisfactory segmentation performance.
