Automatic Segmentation of Images with Superpixel Similarity Combined with Deep Learning

Abstract

In this paper, we combine superpixel and deep learning models to propose a new unsupervised image segmentation based on region-combined color images. Compared to other region merging algorithms, our algorithm can automatically segment color images without human interaction. The algorithm has three phases. In the first phase, we use the mean shift algorithm to obtain non-overlapping over-segmented regions. Firstly, the image is initially segmented by the superpixel segmentation algorithm, then the saliency map is obtained by the superpixel similarity, and the semi-supervised region is merged into an unsupervised algorithm by the saliency map. Finally, the resulting picture is sent to the deep learning model for training to get the final segmentation picture. A large number of experiments have been carried out, and the results show that the scheme can reliably extract the contour of the object from the complex background.
