Abstract

Our main concern is the following variant of the image segmentation problem: given a weighted grid graph and a set of vertical and/or horizontal base lines crossing through the grid, compute a maximum-weight object which can be decomposed into based rectilinear convex objects with respect to the base lines. Our polynomial-time algorithm reduces the problem to solving a polynomial number of instances of the maximum flow problem.
