Abstract
An approach is provided for using a machine learning model for identifying planar region(s) in an image. The approach involves, for example, determining the model for performing image segmentation. The model comprises at least: a trainable filter that convolves the image to generate an input volume comprising a projection of the image at different resolution scales; and feature(s) to identify image region(s) having a texture within a similarity threshold. The approach also involves processing the image using the model by generating the input volume from the image using the trainable filter and extracting the feature(s) from the input volume to determine the region(s) having the texture. The approach further involves determining the planar region(s) by clustering the image regions. The approach further involves generating a planar mask based on the planar region(s). The approach further involves providing the planar mask as an output of the image segmentation.
