Abstract
In this paper we investigate the problem of segmenting images using the information in text annotations. In contrast to the general image understanding problem, this type of annotation guided segmentation is less ill-posed in the sense that for the output there is higher consensus among human annotations. In the paper we present a system based on a combined visual and semantic pipeline. In the visual pipeline, a list of tentative figure-ground segmentations is first proposed. Each such segmentation is classified into a set of visual categories. In the natural language processing pipeline, the text is parsed and chunked into objects. Each chunk is then compared with the visual categories and the relative distance is computed using the... (More)

Each chunk is then compared with the visual categories and the relative distance is computed using the word-net structure. The final choice of segments and their correspondence to the chunked objects are then obtained using combinatorial optimization. The output is compared to manually annotated ground-truth images. The results are promising and there are several interesting avenues for continued research. (Less)
