Abstract

A region-guided boundary refinement method for object segmentation in digital images receives an initial object regions of interest and performs directional boundary decomposition using the initial object regions of interest to generate a plurality of directional object boundaries output. A directional border search is performed using the plurality of directional object boundaries to generate base border points output. A base border integration is performed using the base border points to generate base borders output. In addition, a boundary completion is performed using the base borders having boundary refined object regions of interest output.A region-guided boundary completion method for object segmentation in digital images receives an initial object regions of interest and base borders. It performs boundary completion using the initial object regions of interest and the base borders to generate boundary refined object regions of interest output. The boundary completion method performs border growing using the base borders to generate grown borders output. A region guided connection is performed using the grown borders to generate connected borders output. A region guided mergi…
