Abstract
In this paper we present a general framework for object detection
and segmentation. Using a bottom-up unsupervised merging algorithm,
a region-based hierarchy that represents the image at different
resolution levels is created. Next, top-down, object class knowledge
is used to select and combine regions from the hierarchy, in order
to define the exact object shape. We illustrate the usefulness of the
approach with four different object classes: sky, caption text, traffic
signs and faces.
