Hierarchical Annotation Tool

Status des Praktikums: offen
Betreuer: Walter G. Kropatsch

Problemstellung

Problem formulation:

A segmentation algorithm partitions an image into homogeneous regions
with respect to some low level cues (e.g. color).
A hierarchical segmentation method produces not only a single segmentation
but many, with each being coarser than the previous one.

An annotation tool should enable a human user to read the segmentation
produced by a hierarchical segmentation method and label the regions that
together form meaningfull objects (human, car, house)
by also allowing a hierarchical labeling of the parts
that make up the objects (head, torso, arms, legs, etc.).

Zielsetzung

Task of the Praktikum:

* Refine existing hierarchical annotation tool (in Java) that allows users to label regions in segmentation hierarchies.

* Extend annotation tool to automatically annotate new segmentation hierarchies based on labeled information gathered before (e.g. this region represents a human, automatically decompose and label the parts)

Gliederung

Schedule of the Praktikum:

* Literature study (Segmentation,  Segmentation Hierarchies)
* Implementation.
* Tests and Benchmarks.

Sonstiges

It is possible to extend this subject to a diploma thesis.
