Filed:

Jan 28, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/009101

Inventors:

- Armonk NY, US
Gang Hua - Livingston NJ, US

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products for static image segmentation are provided herein. A method includes segmenting an image containing a target object into multiple regions; analyzing video content containing the target object to determine a similarity metric across the multiple segmented regions based on information associated with the multiple segmented regions; and applying the similarity metric to the image to identify two or more of the multiple segmented regions as being portions of the target object.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products for static image segmentation are provided herein. A method includes segmenting a static image containing a target object into multiple regions based on one or more visual features of the static image; analyzing video content containing the target object to determine a similarity metric across the multiple segmented regions based on motion information associated with each of the multiple segmented regions; and applying the similarity metric to the static image to identify two or more of the multiple segmented regions as being portions of the target object.
