Co-segmentation addresses the problem of simultaneously extracting the common targets appeared in multiple images. Multiple common targets involved object co-segmentation problem, which is very common in reality, has been a new research hotspot recently. In this paper, an unsupervised object co-segmentation method for indefinite number of common targets is proposed. This method overcomes the inherent limitation of traditional proposal selection-based methods for multiple common targets involved images while retaining their original advantages for objects extracting. For each image, the proposed multi-search strategy extracts each target individually and an adaptive decision criterion is raised to give each candidate a reliable judgment automatically, i.e., target or non-target. The comparison experiments conducted on public data sets iCoseg, MSRC, and a more challenging data set Coseg-INCT demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
