If you use this software for research purposes, you should cite the aforementioned paper in any resulting publication.

HOW TO USE

You need to additionally download the following data and code:

GrabCut Dataset
Available at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/visionimagevideoediting/segmentation/grabcut.htm
MATLAB Wrapper of the Boykov-Kolmogorov max-flow min-cut algorithm
Availabe at http://vision.csd.uwo.ca/code/

Modify the file paths in Run_Benchmark.m and run it. Note that this code may produce slightly different results from the ones originally reported in [1], where another C++ implementation was used.

FEATURES

Currently the code only implements the histogram matching segmentation using L1 and L2-distance (Type-1). Algorithms for Type-2 (fractional higher-order energies) and Type-3 (pairwise non-submodular energies) will be implemented in the future.

HISTORY

v.1.0.0 (06/26/2015)

Released the MATLAB implementation for the Type-1 algorithm.
