SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING FEATURE LEVEL SEGMENTATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide reliable and robust feature level segmentation for accurately deciphering foreground pixels.

SOLUTION: A method for performing feature level segmentation comprises: a. selecting a background image; b. selecting an input image; c. for each input pixel of the input image: c.i. classifying the pixel as a candidate foreground pixel or candidate background pixel; c.ii. selecting a neighborhood image about the pixel; c.iii. determining the aggregate change in the neighborhood image; c.iv. reclassifying the pixel as a foreground or background pixel depending on the aggregate change; and d. outputting an indication of all the image pixels reclassified as foreground pixels.
