Popis: Towards segmentation from multiple cues, this paper demonstrates the combined use of color and symmetry for detecting regions of interest (ROI), using the detection of man-made wooden objects and the detection of faces as working examples. A functional that unifies color compatibility and color-symmetry within elliptic supports is defined. Using this functional, the ROI detection problem becomes a five-dimensional global optimization problem. Exhaustive-search is inapplicable due its prohibitive computational cost. Genetic search converges rapidly and provides good results. The added value obtained by combining color and symmetry is demonstrated.
