The paper "ClassCut for Unsupervised Class Segmentation" by Bogdan Alexe, Thomas Deselaers, and Vittorio Ferrari introduces a novel method for unsupervised class segmentation in a set of images. The method alternates between segmenting object instances and learning a class model, using a segmentation energy function defined over all images. This energy function is optimized efficiently using techniques from interactive segmentation. The class model captures the appearance, location, and shape of the class with respect to an automatically determined coordinate frame common across images, allowing for stronger shape and location models. The method is inspired by interactive segmentation methods but is fully automatic and learns models characteristic for the object class rather than specific to individual images. Experimental results on the Caltech4, Caltech101, and Weizmann horses datasets demonstrate that ClassCut transfers class knowledge across images, outperforms GrabCut, and offers competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art unsupervised segmentation methods. The method also learns meaningful, intuitive class models and can be applied to a wide range of object classes without requiring ground-truth segmentations.The paper "ClassCut for Unsupervised Class Segmentation" by Bogdan Alexe, Thomas Deselaers, and Vittorio Ferrari introduces a novel method for unsupervised class segmentation in a set of images.
