Abstract:

In one implementation, an image segmentation system defines a first discriminative classifier and a second discriminative classifier. The first discriminative classifier is associated with a first segment of an object in an image based on a first foreground sample region of the image and a first background sample region of the image. The second discriminative classifier is associated with a second segment of the object based on a second foreground sample region of the image and a second background sample region of the image. The image segmentation system then identifies at least a portion of the first segment using the first discriminative classifier and at least a portion of the second segment using the second discriminative classifier.
