Abstract
A method includes obtaining, using at least one processing device, a vanishing point and a boundary based on image data associated with a scene, where the boundary is associated with a detected object within the scene. The method also includes repeatedly, during multiple iterations and using the at least one processing device, (i) identifying multiple patches within the boundary and (ii) determining a similarity of the image data contained within the multiple patches. The method further includes identifying, using the at least one processing device, a modification to be applied to the boundary based on the identified patches and the determined similarities. In addition, the method includes generating, using the at least one processing device, a refined boundary based on the modification, where the refined boundary identifies a specified portion of the detected object.
