We propose a foreground segmentation algorithm that does foreground extraction under different scales and refines the result by matting. First, the input image is filtered and resampled to 5 different resolutions. Then each of them is…
Object co-segmentation has drawn significant attention in recent years, thanks to its clarity on the expected foreground, the shared object in a group of images. Saliency fusion has been one of the promising ways to carry it out. However,…
Current semantic segmentation methods focus only on mining "local" context, i.e., dependencies between pixels within individual images, by context-aggregation modules (e.g., dilated convolution, neural attention) or structure-aware…
