Abstract

According to an example, a method for object segmentation may include receiving a digital image, performing initial segmentation on the digital image to generate a segmented digital image, and receiving refinement instructions to refine the initial segmentation. The method may further include inferring an intention of a user to correct a foreground area or a background area of the initial segmentation based on the received refinement instructions, learning a behavior of the user to further infer the intention of the user to correct the foreground area or the background area, and refining, by a processor, the initial segmentation based on the inferred intention.
