Half-Integrality based Algorithms for Cosegmentation of Images

This is a practice talk for CVPR 2009. We study the cosegmentation problem where the objective is to segment the same object (i.e., region) from a pair of images. The segmentation for each image can be cast using a partitioning/segmentation function with an additional constraint that seeks to make the histograms of the segmented regions (based on intensity and texture features) similar. Using Markov Random Field (MRF) energy terms for the simultaneous segmentation of the images together with histogram consistency requirements using the squared \ell_2 (rather than \ell_1 ) distance, after linearization and adjustments, yields a model with some interesting combinatorial properties. The talk will discuss our algorithm, and finally show experimental results of the proposed approach. This is joint work with Lopa Mukherjee and Chuck Dyer.
