Accelerating Normalized Cut Based on Segment Decomposition

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Many image segmentation methods formulate the problem of foreground extraction as an eigenproblem of a Laplacian matrix defined by the input image, as done in the classical approach, Normalized Cut. The problem here is that the computational cost of such eigenproblem increases rapidly as the resolution of the input image becomes large. In this work, we accelerate Laplacian-based image segmentation by separately solving small eigenproblems defined by one-by-N image strips that are extracted in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions in the input image. Their eigenproblems can be solved fast because the resultant Laplacian matrices are tridiagonal. We further subdivide the image strips according to the consequent eigenvectors into segments and assign fore-/background labels to the segments in order to obtain a binary mask. We demonstrate that the proposed method performs fast, even for high-resolution images.
