OpenCV-Color-Segmentation
Research code on methods for segmentation of foreground image from green screen background.
Segmentation
Segmentation involves extracting specific parts of the image to make the image simpler or to extract a region of interest like a foreground object from the image.
This repsitory consists of general code that was used for foreground and background segmentation for the specific use case of images taken in a greenscreen under random lighting conditions. The general name of this technique is called as chroma-key segmentation.
The general methods of segmentation can be broadly classified into :
-
Classical computer-vision methods : Graphcut techniques , using color based segmentations
-
Deep Learning methods : U-Net for image segmentation etc.
