Abstract

We introduce here a model for the evaluation of the segmentation quality of a color image. The model parameters were learned from a set of examples. To this aim, we first segmented a set of images using a traditional graph-cut algorithm, for different values of the scale parameter. A human observer classified these images into three classes: under-, well- and over-segmented. This classification was employed to learn the parameters of the segmentation quality model. This was used to automatically optimize the scale parameter of the graph-cut segmentation algorithm, even at a local scale. Experimental results show an improved segmentation quality for the adaptive algorithm based on our segmentation quality model, which can be easily applied to a wide class of segmentation algorithms.
