Most of the existing co-segmentation methods are usually
complex, and require pre-grouping of images, fine-tuning a
few parameters and initial segmentation masks etc. These
limitations become serious concerns for their application on
large scale datasets. In this paper, Group Saliency Propagation
(GSP) model is proposed where a single group saliency
map is developed, which can be propagated to segment the
entire group. In addition, it is also shown how a pool of these
group saliency maps can help in quickly segmenting new
input images. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed
method can achieve competitive performance on several
benchmark co-segmentation datasets including ImageNet,
with the added advantage of speed up.

[PDF] Automatic Image Co-segmentation Using Geometric Mean Saliency (Top 10% ...Koteswar Rao Jerripothula
Most existing high-performance co-segmentation algorithms are usually complicated due to the way of co-labelling a set of images and the requirement to handle quite a few parameters for effective co-segmentation. In this paper, instead of relying on the complex process of co-labelling multiple images, we perform segmentation on individual images but based on a combined saliency map that is obtained by fusing single-image saliency maps of a group of similar images. Particularly, a new multiple image based saliency map extraction, namely geometric mean saliency (GMS) method, is proposed to obtain the global saliency maps. In GMS, we transmit the saliency information among the images using the warping technique. Experiments show that our method is able to outperform state-of-the-art methods on three benchmark co-segmentation datasets.
1. The document presents an approach to enhance the realism of synthetic images rendered by game engines. A convolutional network is trained to modify rendered images using intermediate representations from the rendering process.
2. The network is trained with an adversarial objective to provide strong supervision at multiple perceptual levels. A new strategy is proposed for sampling image patches during training to address differences in scene layout distributions between datasets.
3. The approach significantly enhances photorealism over recent image-to-image translation methods and baselines, as shown in controlled experiments. It can add realistic details like gloss, vegetation, and road textures while keeping enhancements consistent with the input image content.

Google Research Siggraph Whitepaper | Total Relighting: Learning to Relight Portraits for Background Replacement
Abstract:
Given a portrait and an arbitrary high dynamic range lighting environment, our framework uses machine learning to composite the subject into a new scene, while accurately modeling their appearance in the target illumination condition. We estimate a high quality alpha matte, foreground element, albedo map, and surface normals, and we propose a novel, per-pixel lighting representation within a deep learning framework.
CPlaNet: Enhancing Image Geolocalization by Combinatorial Partitioning of MapsNAVER Engineering
Image geolocalization is the task of identifying the location depicted in a photo based only on its visual information. This task is inherently challenging since many photos have only few, possibly ambiguous cues to their geolocation. Recent work has cast this task as a classification problem by partitioning the earth into a set of discrete cells that correspond to geographic regions. The granularity of this partitioning presents a critical trade-off; using fewer but larger cells results in lower location accuracy while using more but smaller cells reduces the number of training examples per class and increases model size, making the model prone to overfitting. To tackle this issue, we propose a simple but effective algorithm, combinatorial partitioning, which generates a large number of fine-grained output classes by intersecting multiple coarse-grained partitionings of the earth. Each classifier votes for the fine-grained classes that overlap with their respective coarse-grained ones. This technique allows us to predict locations at a fine scale while maintaining sufficient training examples per class. Our algorithm achieves the state-of-the-art performance in location recognition on multiple benchmark datasets.

This paper introduces an object shape representation using Kernel Density Feature Points
Estimator (KDFPE). In this method we obtain the density of feature points within defined rings
around the centroid of the image. The Kernel Density Feature Points Estimator is then applied to
the vector of the image. KDFPE is invariant to translation, scale and rotation. This method of
image representation shows improved retrieval rate when compared to Density Histogram
Feature Points (DHFP) method. Analytic analysis is done to justify our method and we compared our results with object shape representation by the Density Histogram of Feature Points (DHFP) to prove its robustness.

Qcce quality constrained co saliency estimation for common object detectionKoteswar Rao Jerripothula
Despite recent advances in joint processing of images,
sometimes it may not be as effective as single image
processing for object discovery problems. In this paper while
aiming for common object detection, we attempt to address
this problem by proposing a novel QCCE: Quality Constrained
Co-saliency Estimation method. The approach here is to iteratively
update the saliency maps through co-saliency estimation
depending upon quality scores, which indicate the degree of
separation of foreground and background likelihoods (the easier
the separation, the higher the quality of saliency map). In this
way, joint processing is automatically constrained by the quality
of saliency maps. Moreover, the proposed method can be applied
to both unsupervised and supervised scenarios, unlike other
methods which are particularly designed for one scenario only.
Experimental results demonstrate superior performance of the
proposed method compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
IRJET- Contrast Enhancement of Grey Level and Color Image using DWT and SVDIRJET Journal
The document presents a method for contrast enhancement of gray level and color images using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). It begins with an introduction to common contrast enhancement techniques like general histogram equalization (GHE) and their limitations. The proposed method first applies GHE, then uses DWT to decompose the input image into subbands. It calculates a correction coefficient using the LL subbands and SVD. It multiplies this to the input image LL subband to generate a new LL subband. After recombining the subbands using inverse DWT, it produces an output image with enhanced contrast and brightness, without affecting color. Experimental results on sample images show improved mean, standard deviation and P
This document discusses image fusion techniques for enhancing images. It begins with an introduction to image fusion, which combines relevant information from multiple images of the same scene into a single enhanced image. It then discusses discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based image fusion in more detail. Several image fusion rules for combining coefficient data during the DWT process are described, including maximum selection, weighted average, and window-based verification schemes. The importance of image fusion for applications like object identification, classification, and change detection is highlighted. Finally, the document reviews related work on different image fusion methods and algorithms proposed by other researchers.

IRJET- Satellite Image Resolution Enhancement using Dual-tree Complex Wav...IRJET Journal
1) A technique for enhancing the resolution of satellite images using dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and non-local mean (NLM) filtering is proposed.
2) The low-resolution input image is decomposed using DT-CWT into high and low frequency subbands. Lanczos interpolation is used to interpolate the subbands.
3) NLM filtering is then applied to reduce artifacts from the DT-CWT. The filtered subbands are combined using inverse DT-CWT to generate the enhanced, high-resolution image.
4) Experimental results show the proposed technique achieves better resolution enhancement than conventional methods in terms of lower MSE and higher PSNR values.
Image enhancement is a method of improving the quality of an image and contrast is a major aspect. Traditional methods of contrast enhancement like histogram equalization results in over/under enhancement of the image especially a lower resolution one. This paper aims at developing a new Fuzzy Inference System to enhance the contrast of the low resolution images overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional methods. Results obtained using both the approaches are compared.
IRJET- Saliency based Image Co-SegmentationIRJET Journal
The document describes a saliency-based image co-segmentation method. It proposes to first extract inter-image information through co-saliency maps generated from multiple saliency extraction methods. Then, it performs single image segmentation on each individual image. A key step is fusing the diverse saliency maps through a saliency co-fusion process at the superpixel level. This exploits inter-image information to boost common foreground regions and suppress background regions. Experiments show the co-fusion based approach achieves competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods without parameter tuning.
Satellite Image Enhancement Using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet TransformjournalBEEI
Drawback of losing high frequency components suffers the resolution enhancement. In this project, wavelet domain based image resolution enhancement technique using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) is proposed for resolution enhancement of the satellite images. Input images are decomposed by using DT-CWT in this proposed enhancement technique. Inverse DT-CWT is used to generate a new resolution enhanced image from the interpolation of high-frequency sub band images and the input low-resolution image. Intermediate stage has been proposed for estimating the high frequency sub bands to achieve a sharper image. It has been tested on benchmark images from public database. Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and visual results show the dominance of the proposed technique over the predictable and state-of-art image resolution enhancement techniques.

Image resolution enhancement by using wavelet transform 2IAEME Publication
This document discusses techniques for enhancing the resolution of digital images using wavelet transforms. It proposes a method that uses both stationary wavelet transform (SWT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to decompose an input image into subbands, which are then interpolated using Lanczos interpolation before being combined via inverse DWT. The method is shown to achieve higher peak signal-to-noise ratios than traditional interpolation techniques like bilinear and bicubic interpolation as well as other wavelet-based super resolution methods, demonstrating its effectiveness for image resolution enhancement.
(1) The document presents a new method for denoising images called texture enhanced image denoising (TEID) that aims to preserve fine texture structures while removing noise.
(2) The TEID method develops a gradient histogram preservation (GHP) algorithm to ensure the gradient histogram of the denoised image is close to the estimated gradient histogram of the original image.
(3) An iterative histogram specification algorithm is proposed to solve the GHP-based image denoising model, which alternates between updating the image given the transform function and updating the transform function given the image to match the reference gradient histogram.
An Approach for Image Deblurring: Based on Sparse Representation and Regulari...IRJET Journal
This document presents an approach for image deblurring based on sparse representation and a regularized filter. The approach involves splitting the blurred input image into patches, estimating sparse coefficients for each patch, learning dictionaries from the coefficients, and merging the patches. The merged patches are subtracted from the blurred image to obtain the deblur kernel. Wiener deconvolution with the kernel is then applied and followed by a regularized filter to recover the original image without blurring. The approach was tested on MATLAB and evaluation metrics like RMSE, PSNR, and SSIM showed it performed better than existing methods, recovering images with more details and contrast.

ABSTRACT- Digital images can be easily modified using powerful image editing software. Determining whether a manipulation is innocent of sharpening from those which are malicious, such as removing or adding parts to an image is the topic of this paper. In this paper we focus on detection of a special type of forgery-the Copy-Move forgery, in this part of the original image is copied moved to desired location in the same image and pasted. The proposed method compress images using DWT (discrete wavelet transform) and divided into blocks and choose blocks than perform feature vector calculation and lexicographical sorting and duplicated blocks are identified after sorting. This method is good at some manipulation/attack likes scaling, rotation, Gaussian noise, smoothing, JPEG compression etc.

As in copy move forgery the duplicated region belongs to the same image, the detection of tampering is complex as it does not leave a visual clue. But the tampering gives rise to glitches at pixel level

This document describes a sign recognition system to translate sign language gestures from deaf and dumb people into audible speech. The system uses Harris corner detection and SIFT to extract features from captured images of gestures. K-nearest neighbors algorithm is used to match features to a database of images and identify the sign. A serial board communication kit then converts the text result to speech using a text-to-speech module and speaker. Examples show the system correctly identifying the signs for letters A, B, and C from captured images.
The document discusses imaging magnetic domains using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). It begins by introducing MFM and the need to create single domain structures for magnetic random access memory (MRAM). It then discusses using different magnetic tips for MFM, including commercial Nanoworld tips and sputtered tips. Sputtered tips provide higher resolution images. Domain imaging of electron beam structures shows changes in domain structure with applied magnetic fields, with some structures exhibiting single domain behavior below 1 micrometer in size.

The approach splits the blurred input image into patches, estimates sparse coefficients for each patch using dictionary learning, updates the dictionary, and estimates the deblur kernel. The deblur kernel is applied using Wiener deconvolution and further processed with a regularized filter to recover the original image. The approach was tested on MATLAB and evaluation metrics like RMSE, PSNR, and SSIM along with visual analysis showed it performed better deblurring compared to existing methods.

This document describes a sign recognition system to translate sign language gestures from deaf and dumb people into audible speech. The system uses Harris corner detection and SIFT to extract features from captured images of gestures. K-nearest neighbors algorithm is used to match features to a database of images and identify the sign. A serial board communication kit then converts the text result to speech using a text-to-speech module and speaker. Examples show the system correctly identifying the signs for letters A, B, and C from captured images.
The document discusses imaging magnetic domains using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). It begins by introducing MFM and the need to create single domain structures for magnetic random access memory (MRAM). It then discusses using different magnetic tips for MFM, including commercial Nanoworld tips and sputtered tips. Sputtered tips provide higher resolution images. Domain imaging of electron beam structures shows changes in domain structure with applied magnetic fields, with some structures exhibiting single domain behavior below 1 micrometer in size.
Thesis on Image compression by Manish MystManish Myst
The document discusses using neural networks for image compression. It describes how previous neural network methods divided images into blocks and achieved limited compression. The proposed method applies edge detection, thresholding, and thinning to images first to reduce their size. It then uses a single-hidden layer feedforward neural network with an adaptive number of hidden neurons based on the image's distinct gray levels. The network is trained to compress the preprocessed image block and reconstruct the original image at the receiving end. This adaptive approach aims to achieve higher compression ratios than previous neural network methods.

In this paper, we propose a model of automatic image annotation based on propagation of keywords. The model works on the premise that visually similar image content is likely to have similar semantic content. Image content is extracted using local descriptors at salient points within the image and quantising the feature-vectors into visual terms. The visual terms for each image are modelled using techniques taken from the information retrieval community. The modelled information from an unlabelled query image is compared to the models of a corpus of labelled images and labels are propagated from the most similar labelled images to the query image

Light propagates in straight lines and can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted when interacting with matter. Reflection occurs when light hits a smooth surface and bounces back into the same medium at the same angle. Regular reflection occurs from plane mirrors where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Spherical mirrors can be concave or convex. Concave mirrors form real, inverted images, while convex mirrors form virtual, upright images. The mirror equation relates the focal length and distances of the object and image.

1) The document proposes a method for color image enhancement using Laplacian pyramid decomposition and histogram equalization. It separates an input image into red, green, and blue color channels.
2) Each color channel is decomposed into a Laplacian pyramid, and histogram equalization is applied to enhance the contrast in each level. The enhanced levels are then recombined to improve both local and global contrast.
3) The method aims to overcome issues with traditional histogram equalization like over-enhancement, by applying a smoothing technique before contrast adjustment in each level of the pyramid. The final enhanced image is reconstructed by combining the processed color channels.

CNN FEATURES ARE ALSO GREAT AT UNSUPERVISED CLASSIFICATION cscpconf
This paper aims at providing insight on the transferability of deep CNN features to
unsupervised problems. We study the impact of different pretrained CNN feature extractors on
the problem of image set clustering for object classification as well as fine-grained
classification. We propose a rather straightforward pipeline combining deep-feature extraction
using a CNN pretrained on ImageNet and a classic clustering algorithm to classify sets of
images. This approach is compared to state-of-the-art algorithms in image-clustering and
provides better results. These results strengthen the belief that supervised training of deep CNN
on large datasets, with a large variability of classes, extracts better features than most carefully
designed engineering approaches, even for unsupervised tasks. We also validate our approach
on a robotic application, consisting in sorting and storing objects smartly based on clustering
This document describes a novel image learning system that can recognize objects using Google Image Search. The system works as follows:
1. The user provides the name of an object and number of images to download from Google Image Search. The system downloads these images.
2. SIFT descriptors are extracted from the downloaded images and used to train a linear SVM classifier.
3. The trained classifier can then recognize that object in new images, adding them to the system's capabilities. Cache storage of features improves recognition speed on subsequent uses.
4. Experiments showed the system achieved high accuracy for distinctive objects but lower accuracy for similar objects, similar to human ability, demonstrating it can dynamically learn new objects from online images.
Image Segmentation from RGBD Images by 3D Point Cloud Attributes and High-Lev...CSCJournals
The document describes an image segmentation algorithm that uses both color and depth features extracted from RGBD images captured by a Kinect sensor. The algorithm clusters pixels into segments based on their color, texture, 3D spatial coordinates, surface normals, and the output of a graph-based segmentation algorithm. Depth features help resolve illumination issues and occlusion that cannot be handled by color-only methods. The algorithm was tested on commercial building images and showed potential for real-time applications.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CLUSTERING BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION AND OPTIMIZATION ...cscpconf
Partitioning of an image into several constituent components is called image segmentation.
Myriad algorithms using different methods have been proposed for image segmentation. Many
clustering algorithms and optimization techniques are also being used for segmentation of
images. A major challenge in segmentation evaluation comes from the fundamental conflict
between generality and objectivity. As there is a glut of image segmentation techniques
available today, customer who is the real user of these techniques may get obfuscated. In this
paper to address the above described problem some image segmentation techniques are evaluated based on their consistency in different applications. Based on the parameters used quantification of different clustering algorithms is done.
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement
technique basically enhances the foreground information and retains the background and improve the
overall contrast of an image. In some case the background of an image hides the structural information of
an image. This paper proposes an algorithm which enhances the foreground image and the background
part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then
combines it to an enhanced image. The results are compared with various classical methods using image
quality measures
Image Contrast Enhancement for Brightness Preservation Based on Dynamic Stret...CSCJournals
Histogram equalization is an efficient process often employed in consumer electronic systems for image contrast enhancement. In addition to an increase in contrast, it is also required to preserve the mean brightness of an image in order to convey the true scene information to the viewer. A conventional approach is to separate the image into sub-images and then process independently by histogram equalization towards a modified profile. However, due to the variations in image contents, the histogram separation threshold greatly influences the level of shift in mean brightness with respect to the uniform histogram in the equalization process. Therefore, the choice of a proper threshold, to separate the input image into sub-images, is very critical in order to preserve the mean brightness of the output image. In this research work, a dynamic range stretching approach is adopted to reduce the shift in output image mean brightness. Moreover, the computationally efficient golden section search algorithm is applied to obtain a proper separation into sub-images to preserve the mean brightness. Experiments were carried out on a large number of color images of natural scenes. Results, as compared to current available approaches, showed that the proposed method performed satisfactorily in terms of mean brightness preservation and enhancement in image contrast.
ADVANCED SINGLE IMAGE RESOLUTION UPSURGING USING A GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NET...sipij
The resolution of an image is a very important criterion for evaluating the quality of the image. Higher resolution of image is always preferable as images of lower resolution are unsuitable due to fuzzy quality. Higher resolution of image is important for various fields such as medical imaging; astronomy works and so on as images of lower resolution becomes unclear and indistinct when their sizes are enlarged. In recent times, various research works are performed to generate higher resolution of an image from its lower resolution. In this paper, we have proposed a technique of generating higher resolution images form lower resolution using Residual in Residual Dense Block network architecture with a deep network. We have also compared our method with other methods to prove that our method provides better visual quality images.
Graph Theory Based Approach For Image Segmentation Using Wavelet TransformCSCJournals
This paper presents the image segmentation approach based on graph theory and threshold. Amongst the various segmentation approaches, the graph theoretic approaches in image segmentation make the formulation of the problem more flexible and the computation more resourceful. The problem is modeled in terms of partitioning a graph into several sub-graphs; such that each of them represents a meaningful region in the image. The segmentation problem is then solved in a spatially discrete space by the well-organized tools from graph theory. After the literature review, the problem is formulated regarding graph representation of image and threshold function. The boundaries between the regions are determined as per the segmentation criteria and the segmented regions are labeled with random colors. In presented approach, the image is preprocessed by discrete wavelet transform and coherence filter before graph segmentation. The experiments are carried out on a number of natural images taken from Berkeley Image Database as well as synthetic images from online resources. The experiments are performed by using the wavelets of Haar, DB2, DB4, DB6 and DB8. The results are evaluated and compared by using the performance evaluation parameters like execution time, Performance Ratio, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Precision and Recall and obtained results are encouraging.
IRJET - Deep Learning Approach to Inpainting and Outpainting SystemIRJET Journal
This document discusses a deep learning approach for image inpainting and outpainting. It proposes a new generative model-based approach using a fully convolutional neural network that can process images with multiple holes at variable locations and sizes. The model aims to not only synthesize novel image structures, but also explicitly utilize surrounding image features as references during training to generate better predictions. Experiments on faces, textures and natural images demonstrate the proposed approach generates higher quality inpainting results than existing methods. It aims to address limitations of CNNs in borrowing information from distant areas by leveraging texture and patch synthesis approaches.
This document describes an efficient method for segmenting organized point cloud data using connected components analysis. The method works by assigning integer labels to points in the cloud that are similar according to a comparison function. It can be used for tasks like planar segmentation and tabletop object detection. Planar segmentation works by first computing surface normals and plane equations for each point, then comparing points and merging those that are part of the same plane segment. The method enables real-time segmentation of RGB-D point clouds.

This document discusses image compression using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and principal component analysis (PCA). It first reviews several related works that use transforms like curvelet, wavelet and discrete cosine transform for image compression. It then describes preprocessing the input image using DWT to decompose it into sub-bands, and applying PCA on the high-frequency sub-bands to reduce dimensions and compress the image while preserving important boundaries. The algorithm is implemented and evaluated based on metrics like peak signal-to-noise ratio, standard deviation and entropy. Results show 95% accuracy in image identification from a database, though processing time increases significantly with database size.

Image segmentation by modified map ml estimationsijesajournal
Though numerous algorithms exist to perform image segmentation there are several issues
related to execution time of these algorithm. Image Segmentation is nothing but label relabeling
problem under probability framework. To estimate the label configuration, an iterative
optimization scheme is implemented to alternately carry out the maximum a posteriori (MAP)
estimation and the maximum likelihood (ML) estimations. In this paper this technique is
modified in such a way so that it performs segmentation within stipulated time period. The
extensive experiments shows that the results obtained are comparable with existing algorithms.
This algorithm performs faster execution than the existing algorithm to give automatic
segmentation without any human intervention. Its result match image edges very closer to
human perception.
Similar to Group saliency propagation for large scale and quick image co segmentation (20)
In this paper, we present how Bell’s Palsy, a neurological disorder, can be detected just from a subject’s eyes in a video. We notice that Bell’s Palsy patients often struggle to blink their eyes on the affected side. As a result, we can observe a clear contrast between the blinking patterns of the two eyes. Although previous works did utilize images/videos to detect this disorder, none have explicitly focused on the eyes. Most of them require the entire face. One obvious advantage of having an eye-focused detection system is that subjects’ anonymity is not at risk. Also, our AI decisions are based on simple blinking patterns, making them explainable and straightforward. Specifically, we develop a novel feature called blink similarity, which measures the similarity between the two blinking patterns. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed feature is quite robust, for it helps in Bell’s Palsy detection even with very few labels. Our proposed eye-focused detection system is not only cheaper but also more convenient than several existing methods.
Most existing high-performance co-segmentation algorithms
are usually complex due to the way of co-labelling a
set of images as well as the common need of fine-tuning few
parameters for effective co-segmentation. In this paper, instead
of following the conventional way of co-labelling multiple images,
we propose to first exploit inter-image information through cosaliency,
and then perform single-image segmentation on each
individual image. To make the system robust and to avoid heavy
dependence on one single saliency extraction method, we propose
to apply multiple existing saliency extraction methods on each
image to obtain diverse salient maps. Our major contribution lies
in the proposed method that fuses the obtained diverse saliency
maps by exploiting the inter-image information, which we call
saliency co-fusion. Experiments on five benchmark datasets with
eight saliency extraction methods show that our saliency co-fusion
based approach achieves competitive performance even without
parameter fine-tuning when compared with the state-of-the-art
methods.
This document summarizes a project report on image segmentation using an advanced fuzzy c-means algorithm. The report was submitted by two students to fulfill requirements for a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. It describes implementing various clustering algorithms for image segmentation, including k-means, fuzzy c-means, bias-corrected fuzzy c-means, and Gaussian kernel fuzzy c-means. It then proposes improvements to the algorithms by automatically selecting the number of clusters and initial cluster centers based on a moving average filter on the image histogram. This approach removes problems of non-convergence and increases speed, enabling real-time video segmentation.
This document provides an overview of machine learning and different types of machine learning algorithms. It discusses how machine learning algorithms have been used to rank webpages, filter spam emails, and make predictions. The document explains that machine learning grew out of artificial intelligence research and allows computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. It describes supervised learning algorithms, which are taught using labeled training data, and unsupervised learning algorithms, which find hidden patterns in unlabeled data. Examples of supervised learning problems include regression to predict prices and classification to detect cancer. Unsupervised learning finds clusters within data without predefined labels.
Most existing high-performance co-segmentation algorithms are usually complicated due to the way of co-labelling a set of images and the requirement to handle quite a few parameters for effective co-segmentation. In this paper, instead of relying on the complex process of co-labelling multiple images, we perform segmentation on individual images but based on a combined saliency map that is obtained by fusing single-image saliency maps of a group of similar images. Particularly, a new multiple image based saliency map extraction, namely geometric mean saliency (GMS) method, is proposed to obtain the global saliency maps. In GMS, we transmit the saliency information among the images using the warping technique. Experiments show that our method is able to outperform state-of-the-art methods on three benchmark co-segmentation datasets.

ABSTRACT
Most of the existing co-segmentation methods are usually
complex, and require pre-grouping of images, fine-tuning a
few parameters and initial segmentation masks etc. These
limitations become serious concerns for their application on
large scale datasets. In this paper, Group Saliency Propaga-
tion (GSP) model is proposed where a single group saliency
map is developed, which can be propagated to segment the
entire group. In addition, it is also shown how a pool of these
group saliency maps can help in quickly segmenting new
input images. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed
method can achieve competitive performance on several
benchmark co-segmentation datasets including ImageNet,
with the added advantage of speed up.

1. INTRODUCTION
Image co-segmentation deals with segmenting out common
objects from a set of images. Exploiting the weak supervision
provided by association of similar images, co-segmentation
has become a promising substitute to tedious interactive seg-
mentation for object extraction and labelling in large-scale
datasets. The concept was originally introduced by [1] to
simultaneously segment out the common object from a pair
of images. Since then, many co-segmentation methods have
been proposed to scale from image pair to multiple images
[2, 3, 4]. The work in [2] proposed a discriminative clustering
framework and [3] used optimization for co-segmentation.
Recently, [5] combined co-segmentation with co-sketch for
effective co-segmentation and [6] proposed to co-segment a
noisy image dataset (where some images may not contain the
common object). Most of these existing works require inten-
sive computation due to co-labelling multiple images and also

need fine-tuning a few parameters and pre-grouping of images
etc.
Our previous work [7] addresses some of these issues by
performing segmentation on each of the individual images
but with the help of a global saliency map (formed via pair-
wise warping process). Warping [8] is a process of alignment
of one image w.r.t. another image where dense correspon-
dence between two images is established at pixel level and
this process is computationally expensive. Therefore, devel-
oping such a global saliency map for each image requires in-
tensive computation. In this paper, we aim at improving the
efficiency of our previous method so that it can be applied to
large scale datasets without much performance loss.
Geometric Mean Saliency: Since proposed method is
based on our previous work [7], we briefly review the ba-
sic idea here to make the paper self contained. In GMS [7],
segmentation on individual images is performed, but using a
global saliency map that is obtained by fusing single-image
saliency maps of a group of similar images. In this way, even
if an existing single-image saliency detection method fails to
detect the common object as salient in an image, saliency
maps of other images can help in extracting the common ob-
ject by forming a global saliency map. The fusion takes place
at the pixel level using geometric mean after saliency maps of
other images are aligned. The corresponding saliency values
in other images are collected and combined for each image.
When we do this for each image, mostly the same correspond-
ing pixels get together every time and their saliency values
are combined, under the assumption that warping technique
is precise and accurate. This makes the process repetitive
and inefficient. So, we avoid such repetition in the proposed
method by doing this task only once and propagate this infor-
mation in the group. Therefore, in this paper, we effectively
perform the same task as earlier in an efficient way and as a
result we hardly observe any drop in the performance.
In particular, our basic idea is to first cluster visually sim-
ilar images into a group and select a key image to represent
each group. After that we can align all the saliency maps
of other images in the group w.r.t. the key image via warp-
ing technique and fuse them to form a single group saliency

only matches each member image with the key image that
represents the whole group.
map for the entire group. This group saliency map serves as
a group prior for foreground extraction of all the images in
the group by means of propagation that is done via warping.
Moreover, it can also help to segment a new input image by
the same means. We call our method Group Saliency Propa-
gation (GSP) model. Note that there are only a few attempts
on large-scale cosegmentation such as [3, 9, 10], where [10]
represents state-of-the-art. Although [10] also relies on prop-
agation, it needs some human annotated segmentation masks
and semantic grouping to initiate the propagation, whereas
our method does not have such a limitation. In addition, our
GSP method can also help on quick segmentation of any new
image by utilizing a pool of pre-computed group saliency
maps. Experiments on several benchmark datasets includ-
ing ImageNet [11], show that our proposed GSP model can
achieve competitive results with a drastic speed up.
2. GROUP SALIENCY PROPAGATION
This section provides the detailed description of our proposed
method. The group saliency map is obtained by fusing the key
image saliency map and warped saliency maps of other im-
ages at pixel level. Unlike [7] where such fusion of individual
saliency map and warped saliency map is carried out for every
image, here we only fuse the saliency maps for the key image
and treat the fused saliency map as the group saliency map.
Once we obtain the group saliency map for each group, this
group saliency map can help in segmentation of all the images
in the group as well as new input images through propagation.
Notations: Consider a large dataset with m images I =
{I1, I2, .., Im}. Let M = {MI1
, MI2
, .., MIm
} be the set of
corresponding visual saliency maps, D = {DI1
, DI2
, ..., DIm
}
be the set of corresponding weighted GIST descriptors [12, 6]
(saliency maps are used as weight maps) for global descrip-
tion, and L = {LI1
, LI2
, ..., LIm
} be the set of correspond-
ing dense SIFT descriptors [8] for local description. Denote
I, A, S and M as a new input image, its GIST descriptor,
SIFT descriptor and preprocessed saliency maps respectively.
Pre-processing: We use the same pre-processing steps
as in [7] to ensure that each saliency map covers sufficient

regions of the object by adding spatial contrast saliency and
then brighten the saliency map to avoid over-penalty caused
by low saliency values.
2.1. Group Saliency Maps
We first perform k-means clustering using GIST descriptors
of images to cluster the entire image dataset into K groups.
For each group the image closest to a cluster center is se-
lected as the key image to represent the whole group. For each
group, its group saliency map is produced using [7] w.r.t the
key image alone where saliency maps of the member images
are aligned to the key image via the warping technique. Then
following the method in GMS [7], the key image saliency map
and the warped saliency maps from other members are fused
at pixel level using geometric mean. Let Ck denote the k-th
cluster as well as the corresponding key image, and U

where |.| represents cardinality.
For quick co-segmentation, along with the group saliency
maps we also need to store GIST and SIFT descriptors of the
key images and number of members in the group for the pur-
pose of group assignment, warping and fusion respectively.
Therefore, the pool of group saliency maps contains not only
the maps G = {G1
, G2
, ..., GK
} but also the corresponding
GIST and SIFT descriptors and number of group members:
A = {DC1
, DC2
, ..., DCK
} and S = {LC1
, LC2
, ..., LCK
}
and C = {|Ck|, |C2|, ..., |CK|} respectively.
2.2. Propagation
In our previous work [7], for a group of n images, when seg-
menting one image, the saliency maps of the other n − 1 im-
ages need to wrap to the current image, which requires com-
puting the costly dense SIFT flows n − 1 times. Thus, seg-

menting n images will need computing dense SIFT flows for
n × (n − 1) times, as shown in the left part of Fig. 1, which
is very time consuming, especially for large-scale dataset.
In order to reduce the computational cost, in this paper,
we propose to use group saliency map to propagate the group
prior information. In particular, for a cluster of n images, we
only compute the dense SIFT flows for the key image n − 1
times. When segmenting the n − 1 member images, we sim-
ply warp the group saliency map back to each of them. In this
way, totally we only need 2 × (n − 1) dense SIFT flows, as
shown in the right part of Fig. 1. We achieve a drastic speed
up of n/2 times by using this kind of propagation of group
saliency maps. An illustration of the proposed approach is
given in Fig. 2. In particular, the object prior O for any mem-
ber image Ij would be warped Gk
w.r.t. Ij denoted as UCk
Ij
.
Based on the pool of [G, A, S, C] information, we can
also quickly co-segment a new image by 1) assigning the im-
age to a group using the GIST feature, 2) warping the se-
lected group saliency map to the input image, and 3) fusing
the saliency map of the input image with the warped group
saliency map, as shown in Fig. 3. Since one more saliency
value is to be included in the calculation of geometric mean
of saliency values, the object prior O value for any pixel p of
a new input image I can be computed as,
O(p) = UCk

larization is performed with the help of SLIC superpixel over-
segmentation [14]. Particularly, foreground (F) and back-
ground (B) seed locations for GrabCut are determined by

3. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Several benchmark datasets including ImageNet [11] have
been used to validate the proposed GSP model and compare
it with the existing methods. Two objective measures, Jac-
card Similarity (J) and Precision (P), are used for evaluation.
Jaccard Similarity is defined as the intersection divided by the
union of ground truth and segmentation result, and Precision
is defined as the percentage of pixels correctly labeled.
In Table 1, we compare our quantitative results and time
consumed with our previous work [7] on 5 benchmark co-
segmentation datasets: MSRC [17], iCoseg [18], Coseg-Rep
[5], Internet Dataset [6], Weizmann Horses [19], using de-
fault parameter setting :τ = 0.99. In each of our experiments
with m images, K is calculated as nearest integer to m/15 en-

suring that there are 15 images per sub-group on an average.
Since apart from Weizmann horses dataset, all other datasets
contain multiple sub-groups, experiments are conducted sep-
arately on each sub-group and average performance has been
reported. Reported “Time Consumed” is the total time con-
sumed for entire dataset. It can be noted that performance is
hardly affected but there is significant improvement in speed.
As explained in previous sections, the reason can be attributed
to the fact that we are effectively achieving the same objective
,i.e., collecting corresponding pixels together and combining
their saliency values. However, here we efficiently avoid the
repetition occurring in our previous work [7].
Recently, evaluation on large dataset such as ImageNet
has also become possible with the release of groundtruths on
nearly 4.5k images by [10]. We apply our method on about
0.4 million images of 446 synsets to which these 4.5k images
belong and compare our performance with [10] and [16] in
Table 2. Here τ is the only parameter that we tune in our ex-
periments and we report three results with different setting of
τ: (1) τ is fixed for all classes, (2) τ is fixed within a class, but
varied across the classes and (3) τ is tuned across all the im-
ages of dataset. As expected, the performance improves from
(1) to (3) progressively and it will be interesting to see if this
parameter can be learned. Compared with [16] our method
does not require any segmentation masks for initiation but
still achieves comparable performance as in [16]. Some sam-
ple segmentation results obtained from ImageNet are shown
in Fig. 4. Even with cluttered backgrounds, our method can
still segment the foregrounds successfully.
Since we rely on good clustering to group visually sim-
ilar images and claim that manually pre-grouping is not ab-
solutely essential for our method, it would be interesting to

map [20], the proposed approach is able to extract it.

see how our method behaves “without exploiting manual cat-
egorization” in comparison to “with exploiting manual cate-
gorization” on benchmark co-segmentation datasets. It can be
noted in Table 3 that there is very minor drop in performance.
To evauate our quick cosegmentation idea we first make a
pool of 30k group saliency maps produced while attempting
to segment ImageNet and then input the images of datasets
image-by-image. In Table 4, we compare results of our quick
co-segmentation idea with that of simple GrabCut initialized
with central window of 25% of size of the image and ini-
tialized with saliency prior thresholded using Otsu method.
Grabcut initialized by central window, grabcut initialized by
saliency prior and our quick co-segmentation method have
been labelled as Center, Saliency and Quick respectively. It
can be noted that our quick co-segmentation method obtains
significant improvement over others. Some sample results of
this approach are shown in Fig. 5 demonstrating how fore-
ground gets extracted in spite of not being so salient.
4. CONCLUSION
Image co-segmentation in large-scale dataset remaining a
challenging problem as most existing methods cannot be eas-
ily extended to big dataset, we efficiently extend our previous
work [7] to perform large-scale co-segmentation and quick
co-segmentation of new input images by introducing the idea
of propagating a group saliency map in the entire group. Such
an approach requires a lesser number of SIFT flows compared
to the previous method. Experimental results demonstrated
that proposed method is able to perform co-segmentation in a
much faster manner without much affecting on performance.
