Banded graph cut segmentation algorithms with laplacian pyramids

摘要

A process for segmenting an object of interest from background, comprising: obtaining a master, high-resolution image of an object disposed within a background; applying a first band graph cut process to the master image generating a second image with the object being segmented from the background to a first approximation; and, comparing the second image with the master image to produce a comparison image with pixels identified by the comparison to be background images being removed from the comparison image.
