We present a monocular obstacle avoidance method based on a novel image feature map built by fusing robust saliency features, to be used in embedded systems on lightweight autonomous vehicles. The fused salient features are a textural-directional Harris based feature map and a relative focus feature map. We present the generation of the fused salient map, along with its application for obstacle avoidance. Evaluations are performed from a saliency point of view, and for the assessment of the method's applicability for obstacle avoidance in simulated environments. The presented results support the usability of the method in embedded systems on lightweight unmanned vehicles.

“…There are two types of algorithms that belong to this category. The first type of algorithms carries out region and boundary segmentations sequentially [18] [19] [20], where one segmentation method is employed as the preprocessing or initialization step of another. The second type performs segmentation by considering region and boundary information simultaneously [21] [22].…”

This paper presents a novel image segmentation algorithm driven by human visual system (HVS) properties. Quality metrics for evaluating the segmentation result, from both region-based and boundary-based perspectives, are integrated into an objective function. The objective function encodes the HVS properties into a Markov random fields (MRF) framework, where the just-noticeable difference (JND) model is employed when calculating the difference between the image contents. Experiments are carried out to compare the performances of three variations of the presented algorithm and several representative segmentation algorithms available in the literature. Results are very encouraging and show that the presented algorithms outperform the state-of-the-art image segmentation algorithms.

“…There exists a tremendous quantity of image segmentation approaches [11,21]. Our goal in this paper is not to propose a new segmentation algorithm, but to study the influence of the segmentation as a preprocessing step in the object detection and recognition pipeline.…”

In this paper we study the problem of the detection of semantic objects from known categories in images. Unlike existing techniques which operate at the pixel or at a patch level for recognition, we propose to rely on the categorization of image segments. Recent work has highlighted that image segments provide a sound support for visual object class recognition. In this work, we use image segments as primitives to extract robust features and train detection models for a predefined set of categories. Several segmentation algorithms are benchmarked and their performances for segment recognition are compared. We then propose two methods for enhancing the segments classification, one based on the fusion of the classification results obtained with the different segmentations, the other one based on the optimization of the global labelling by correcting local ambiguities between neighbor segments. We use as a benchmark the Microsoft MSRC-21 image database and show that our method competes with the current state-of-the-art.
