Scene Understanding: A Framework for Image Segmentation via Object Recognition

An approach to image segmentation using prior knowledge is used to segment an image by first identifying objects in the image. We describe a framework that uses object recognition to determine the object and hence its contours, and use it to segment the object. The result of the object recognition is used to drive the object-based segmentation.
