Abstract

A method semantically labels an image acquired of a scene by first obtaining a local semantic feature for each local region in the image. The local semantic features are combined recursively to form intermediate segments until a semantic feature for the entire image is obtained. Then, the semantic feature for the entire image is decombined recursively into intermediate segments until an enhanced semantic feature for each local region is obtained. Then, each local region is labeled according to the enhanced semantic feature.
