  1. Segmentation Through Optimization PyryMatikainen

  2. “He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.” -Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

  3. Formulate Problem Force problem into favorite algorithm Retroactively justify decisions Gradient ascent via parameter tweaking “Refine” Publish

  4. What is wrong with this? Formulate Problem • Difficult to use • Difficult to extend • Difficult to study Force problem into favorite algorithm Retroactively justify decisions Gradient ascent via parameter tweaking “Refine” Publish

  5. Z. Tu and S. C. Zhu (2002)to the rescue! and also Ren and Malik (2003)…

  6. Z. Tu and S. C. Zhu. Image Segmentation by Data-Driven Markov Chain Monte Carlo. PAMI, vol.24, no.5, pp. 657-673, May, 2002: The DDMCMC paradigmcombines and generalizes these [all other] segmentation methods in a principled way.

  7. Segmenter Evaluator Optimizer

  8. Everything is search.

  9. Evaluator Optimizer

  10. “What is a good segment?” Ren and Malik (2003)

  11. How do we model a segment? Contours Texture Raw pixel values

  12. x2 G(x) h(x) h(f(x)) G(b(x) - x)

  13. (gaussian) (histogram) (gabor) (Bezier)

  14. Region appearance model complexity Region area Region perimeter length (smoothness) Number of regions Notably absent: the data

  15. Brightness Superpixels (normalized cuts) Texture (textons) Oriented energy

  16. * G(W|I) Classifier

  17. Evaluator Optimizer

  18. MCMC is a technique for sampling from distributions.

  19. Number of regions Region Region? ? ? ?

  20. Ren and Malik The ‘data driven’ part revealed! Merge Split Boundary competition Model adaptation Switching image models

  21. Data driven = do some clustering to make the MCMC faster.

  22. Evaluator Optimizer
