Foveated Figure-Ground Segmentation and Its Role in Recognition [Elektronisk resurs]

• Figure-ground segmentation and recognition are two interrelated processes. In this paper we present a method for foveated segmentation and evaluate it in the context of a binocular real-time recognition system. Segmentation is solved as a binary labeling problem using priors derived from the results ofa simplistic disparity method. Doing so we are able to cope with situations when the disparity range is very wide, situations that has rarely been considered, but appear frequently for narrow-field camera sets. Segmentation and recognition are then integrated into a system able to locate, attend to and recognise objects in typical cluttered indoor scenes. Finally, we try to answer two questions: is recognition really helped by segmentation and what is the benefit of multiple cues for recognition?
