Abstract
A method for segmenting an object region of interest from an image includes detecting each corner in a captured image; acquiring edges of the object from the captured image based on the detected corners; clustering the detected corners based on corners on the acquired edges; and segmenting the image region in the captured image formed by the clustered corners as a region of interest that likely includes the object. With this method and apparatus for the method, an object region of interest may be segmented from an image without utilizing features such as an object shadow and edges.
