Grab Cut Image Segmentation Based on Image Region

Grab Cut algorithm is one of the most popular method in the field of image segmentation. It uses texture information and boundary information of image, and achieves good segmentation results with a small number of user interaction. But there are two significant drawbacks about this algorithm. Firstly, If the background is complex or the background and the object are very similar, the segmentation will not be very good. On the other hand, the relatively slow speed and Complex iterative process of the algorithm are greatly limited its application. In this paper, to develop these aspects, we proposed an improved grab cut algorithm. This algorithm is the combination of grab cut and graph-based image segmentation [1]. After the experiment, the improved algorithm is applied to more complex situation.
