Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel image segmentation method exploiting an image abstraction method aiming for the application of image transmission and object-based image compression under very narrow bandwidth. Image abstraction is a method which reduces the complexity of a photograph and changes it into a picture like an artwork. In addition, our proposed method utilizes distance information obtained by a stereo camera and plane fitting. We conducted experiments using images obtained by two distinct stereo cameras and Inria 3DMovie Dataset v1, and subjectively confirmed that the proposed method is effective and promising.
