Abstract

We tackle the problem of unsupervised object cosegmentation combining automatic image selection, cosegmentation, and knowledge transfer to yet unlabelled images. Furthermore, we overcome the limitations often present in state-of-the-art methods in object cosegmentation, namely, high complexity and poor scalability w.r.t. image set size. Our proposed approach is robust, reasonably fast, and scales linearly w.r.t. the image set size. We tested our approach on two commonly used cosegmentation data sets and outperformed some of the state-of-the-art methods using significantly less information than possible. Additionally, results indicate the applicability of our approach on larger image sets.
