Abstract
A computing device segments an image into a plurality of segments, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments comprises a set of pixels that share visual characteristics. The computing device then determines expected contexts for the segments, wherein an expected context for a segment comprises at least one of additional segments or features expected to occur in the image together with the segment. The computing device then identifies a probable object based on the expected contexts.
