Adaptive Nonparametric Image Parsing
In this paper, we present an adaptive nonparametric solution to the image
parsing task, namely annotating each image pixel with its corresponding
category label. For a given test image, first, a locality-aware retrieval set
is extracted from the training data based on super-pixel matching similarities,
which are augmented with feature extraction for better differentiation of local
super-pixels. Then, the category of each super-pixel is initialized by the
majority vote of the -nearest-neighbor super-pixels in the retrieval set.
Instead of fixing as in traditional non-parametric approaches, here we
propose a novel adaptive nonparametric approach which determines the
sample-specific k for each test image. In particular, is adaptively set to
be the number of the fewest nearest super-pixels which the images in the
retrieval set can use to get the best category prediction. Finally, the initial
super-pixel labels are further refined by contextual smoothing. Extensive
experiments on challenging datasets demonstrate the superiority of the new
solution over other state-of-the-art nonparametric solutions.Comment: 11 page
