Title
Hierarchical classification-based region growing (HCBRG): a collaborative approach for object segmentation and classification
Abstract
Object-based image classification approaches heavily rely on the segmentation process. However, the lack of interaction between both segmentation and classification steps is one of the major limits of these approaches. In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical classification based on a region growing approach driven by expert knowledge represented in a concept hierarchy. In order to overcome the region growing's limits, a first classification will associate a confidence score to each region in the image. This score will be used through an iterative step, which allows interaction between segmentation and classification at each iteration. Carried out experiments on a Quickbird image show the benefits of the introduced approach.
