image processing - Nontrivial background removal



I have an image of a product on a poorly made green screen and need to segment out just the product:


enter image description here


The problem is that it contains a mirror, so simple color-based methods are not enough.


I tried playing with the function RemoveBackground using markers, but no luck. Here's what I tried so far:


RemoveBackground[img, {"Background", Green}]
RemoveBackground[img, {"Background", {"Uniform", 0.1}}]

enter image description here enter image description here


Update:


With python and opencv can do it easily using the Grabcut algorithm referenced in the comments, but I can't find the way to do it with MMA.



%matplotlib inline

import numpy as np
import cv2
import skimage
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
img = cv2.imread(path_to_img)
print "img", img.shape

# resize

side = 600
ratio = float(side) / max(img.shape)
img = skimage.img_as_ubyte(
skimage.transform.resize(
img, (int(img.shape[0] * ratio), int(img.shape[1] * ratio))))

s = (img.shape[0] / 10, img.shape[1] / 10)
rect = (s[0], s[1], img.shape[0] - 2 * s[0], img.shape[1] - 2 * s[1])

mask = np.zeros(img.shape[:2],np.uint8)


bgdModel = np.zeros((1,65),np.float64)
fgdModel = np.zeros((1,65),np.float64)

cv2.grabCut(img,mask,rect,bgdModel,fgdModel,5,cv2.GC_INIT_WITH_RECT)
mask2 = np.where((mask==2)|(mask==0),0,1).astype('uint8')
img = img*mask2[:,:,np.newaxis]

plt.imshow(img)
plt.colorbar()

plt.show()

Answer




image = Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/zP5xF.jpg"];
imageData = Flatten[ImageData[ColorConvert[image, "LAB"]], 1];
c = ClusterClassify[imageData, 4, Method -> "KMedoids"];
decision = c[imageData];
mask = Image /@

ComponentMeasurements[{image,
Partition[decision, First@ImageDimensions[image]]}, "Mask"][[All,
2]]

enter image description here


allMask = FillingTransform[Dilation[ColorNegate[mask[[4]]], 1]];
SetAlphaChannel[image, Blur[allMask, 8]]

Method one,Classify the pixel by chain a nerve


I have to say this is worthless method in real life,because it is very very very low efficiency(Maybe when you have a CUDA feature GPU, it will be more faster).I don't remember how long I have run it.Well,Just for fun.


First we select a range that you need,which just is a selection roughly that mean you can include some singular point in your trained data.Of course you can make yourself trained data.This is what I select that arbitrarily



Then define a net and train it


image = Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/zP5xF.jpg"];
trainData = Join[Thread[Rule[no, False]], Thread[Rule[yes, True]]];
net = NetChain[{20, Tanh, 2,
SoftmaxLayer["Output" -> NetDecoder[{"Class", {True, False}}]]},
"Input" -> 3];

ringQ = NetTrain[net, trainData, MaxTrainingRounds -> 20]


Be patient and wait some minutes,then you can get your ring.The final effect is depened on your training data and some luck.


Image[Map[If[ringQ[#],#,N@{1,1,1}]&,ImageData[image],{2}]]


We can use my above method to refine it in following step.


Method two,use the built-in function of Classify


This method is not bad as the result effect,but actually I will not tell you this code cost my one night to run,which mean this method is slower than that NetChain. Firstly,make some sample data




match = Classify[<|False -> Catenate[ImageData[no]], 
True -> Catenate[ImageData[yes]]|>];
ImageApply[If[match[#], #, {1, 1, 1}] &, image]

Be more patient please,after just one night,the result will show you.like this:



image = Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/zP5xF.jpg"];

Method one



SetAlphaChannel[image, 
Erosion[Blur[
DeleteSmallComponents[
FillingTransform[Binarize[GradientFilter[image, 1], 0.035]]], 10],
1]]


Method two


SetAlphaChannel[image, 
Blur[Binarize[

Image[WatershedComponents[GradientFilter[image, 2],
Method -> {"MinimumSaliency", 0.2}] - 1]], 5]]


Method three


SetAlphaChannel[image, 
Blur[FillingTransform[
MorphologicalBinarize[
ColorNegate[
First[ColorSeparate[ColorConvert[image, "CMYK"]]]], {.6, .93}]],

7]]


Last but not least,this method do some principal component decomposition of color channels,which can face more situation commonly


First[KarhunenLoeveDecomposition[
ColorCombine /@ Tuples[ColorSeparate[image], {3}]]]


Note that picture from 2 to 5,every picture have more strong contrast then origin.Than we can use fist three method do next step.

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
