Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus and method for detecting a transparent image from an input image. The image processing apparatus may include an image segmenting unit to segment an input image into a plurality of segments, a likelihood determining unit to determine a likelihood that a transparent object is present between adjacent segments among the plurality of segments, and an object detecting unit to detect the transparent object from the input image based on the likelihood.
Claims28
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image segmenting unit to segment an input image into a plurality of segments;
- a likelihood determining unit to determine a likelihood that a transparent object is present between adjacent segments among the plurality of segments;
- and
- an object detecting unit to detect the transparent object from the input image based on the likelihood.
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image segmenting unit to segment a test image into a plurality of segments;
- a group determining unit to determine a group associated with a transparency attribute that is belonged by a segment pair including adjacent segment among the plurality of segments;
- and
- a learning unit to perform a learning process of extracting a feature associated with the segment pair based on the group belonged by the segment pair.
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a feature learning unit to perform a learning process of extracting a feature associated with a transparent object using a test image;
- and
- a transparent object detecting unit to determine a likelihood that segments of an input image are associated with the transparent object using a learned feature, and to detect the transparent object from the input image based on the determined likelihood.
