This paper is aimed at obtaining the statistics as a probabilistic model pertaining to the geometric, topological and photometric structure of natural images. The image structure is represented by its segmentation graph derived from the low-level hierarchical multiscale image segmentation. We first estimate the statistics of a number of segmentation graph properties from a large number of images. Our estimates confirm some findings reported in the past work, as well as provide some new ones. We then obtain a Markov random field based model of the segmentation graph which subsumes the observed statistics. To demonstrate the value of the model and the statistics, we show how its use as a prior impacts three applications: image classification, semantic image segmentation and object detection.

Multi-image region growing for integrating disparity maps
Leloglu, UĞUR MURAT; Halıcı, Uğur (1999-01-01)
In this paper, a multi-image region growing algorithm to obtain planar 3-D surfaces in the object space from multiple dense disparity maps, is presented. A surface patch is represented by a plane equation and a set of pixels in multiple images. The union of back projections of all pixels in the set onto the infinite plane, forms the surface patch. Thanks to that hybrid representation of planar surfaces, region growing (both region aggregation and region merging) is performed on all images simultaneously. Pl...
MRF Based Image Segmentation Augmented with Domain Specific Information
Karadag, Ozge Oztimur; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-09-13)
A Markov Random Field based image segmentation system which combines top-down and bottom-up segmentation approaches is proposed in this study. The system is especially proposed for applications where no labeled training set is available, but some priori general information referred as domain specific information about the dataset is available. Domain specific information is received from a domain expert and formalized by a mathematical representation. The type of information and its representation depends o...
REGION-BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION VIA GRAPH CUTS
Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01)
A graph theoretic color image segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular normalized cuts image segmentation method is improved with modifications on its graph structure. The image is represented by a weighted undirected graph, whose nodes correspond to over-segmented regions, instead of pixels, that decreases the complexity of the overall algorithm. In addition, the link weights between the nodes are calculated through the intensity similarities of the neighboring regions. The irregular distri...
Efficient algorithms for convolutional inverse problems in multidimensional imaging
Doğan, Didem; Öktem, Figen S.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
Computational imaging is the process of indirectly forming images from measurements using image reconstruction algorithms that solve inverse problems. In many inverse problems in multidimensional imaging such as spectral and depth imaging, the measurements are in the form of superimposed convolutions related to the unknown image. In this thesis, we first provide a general formulation for these problems named as convolutional inverse problems, and then develop fast and efficient image reconstruction algorith...
Shape : representation, description, similarity and recognition
Arıca, Nafiz; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, we study the shape analysis problem and propose new methods for shape description, similarity and recognition. Firstly, we introduce a new shape descriptor in a two-step method. In the first step, the 2-D shape information is mapped into a set of 1-D functions. The mapping is based on the beams, which are originated from a boundary point, connecting that point with the rest of the points on the boundary. At each point, the angle between a pair of beams is taken as a random variable to define...
