-- Hi all,
I agree that we should first merge the GSOC code from this year before
we start thinking of a new segmenter. Let me know if you need any
help. However, I think both a graph-cut-based segmenter and SIOX could
have a place in GIMP side-by-side. Graphcut-based segmenters and SIOX
have different complementary properties. It is going to be a GUI
challenge though because it requires expert knowledge to know when to
use which.
I do believe that using both algorithms could be a nice solution. In fact, it was my original proposal and I am willing to try to merge both methods.
Thiago: I can give you a couple of pictures that you should try with
your segmenter and then compare against SIOX... especially those with
a lot of texture and semi-transparent layers. The new version of SIOX
can cope with them very well. Graph-based segmentation algorithms
can't because they look for a minimum cut, which is a problem because
especially those highly complicated pictures require a lot of time to
do manually.
I would be very glad if you could provide me some of these examples, because it would really help me with my research. Also, I would like to state that our approach is *not* based on the min-cut/max-flow algorithm, so it does not suffer with many of its drawbacks. Right now my current job is to deal with soft segmentation in an attempt to cope with the transparency issue, and we already have some good solutions.
