Estimating Floor Regions in Cluttered Indoor Scenes from First Person Camera ViewAuthors: Sanchit Aggarwal,Anoop M Namboodiri, C V Jawahar Conference: ICPR 2014 (International Conference on Pattern Recognition 2014) Date: 2014-08-24 Report no: IIIT/TR/2014/49 AbstractThe ability to detect floor regions from an image enables a variety of applications such as indoor scene understanding, mobility assessment, robot navigation, path planning and surveillance. In this work, we propose a framework for estimating floor regions in cluttered indoor environments. The problem of floor detection and segmentation is challenging in situations where floor and non-floor regions have similar appearances. It is even harder to segment floor regions when clutter, specular reflections, shadows and textured floors are present within the scene. Our framework utilizes a generic classifier trained from appearance cues as well as floor density estimates, both trained from a variety of indoor images. The results of the classifier is then adapted to a specific test image where we integrate appearance, position and geometric cues in an iterative framework. A Markov Random Field framework is used to integrate the cues to segment floor regions. In contrast to previous settings that relied on optical flow, depth sensors or multiple images in a calibrated setup, our method can work on a single image. It is also more flexible as we avoid assumptions like Manhattan world scene or restricting clutter only to wall-floor boundaries. Experimental results on the public MIT Scene dataset as well as a more challenging dataset that we acquired, demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of our framework on the above mentioned complex situations.
