IMAGE CLASSIFICATION BASED ON IMAGE SEGMENTATION

摘要

The invention relates toa system (100) for classifying image data on the basis of a model for adapting to an object in the image data, the system comprising a segmentation unit (110) for segmenting the image data by adapting the model to the object in the image data and a classification unit (120) for assigning a class to the image data on the basis of the modeladapted to the object in the image data, thereby classifying the image data, wherein the classification unit (120) comprises an attribute unit (122) for computing a valueofan attribute of the model on the basis of the modeladapted to the object in the image data, and wherein the assigned class is based on the computed value ofthe attribute. Thus, the system (100) of the invention is capable of classifying the image data without any user input. All inputs required for classifying the image data 10 constitute a model for adapting to an object in the image data. A person skilled in the art will understand however that in some embodiments of the system (100), a limited number ofuser inputs may be enabled to let the user influence and control the system and the classification process.
