Intelligent Scissors tool

Intelligent-Scissors

The Intelligent Scissors can be used to select an image region defined by strong color-changes at the edges.

You can learn more about it in papers:

• Intelligent Scissors for Image Composition
• Interactive Segmentation with Intelligent Scissors

Installation

pip install intelligent-scissors

Usage

To use in your program

from scissors.feature_extraction import Scissors

image = ...
scissors = Scissors(image)

seed_x, seed_y = ...
free_x, free_y = ...
path = scissors.find_path(seed_x, seed_y, free_x, free_y)

Also you can run a simple demo

from scissors.gui import run_demo

file_name = 'image.png'
run_demo(file_name)

Details

The current implementation includes

• Static features
• Dynamic features
• On-the-fly Training
• Unrestricted graph search

On-the-fly Training allows you to select a “good” initial-boundary segment. However, this results in poor performance for new segments with different intensity/gradient magnitudes. To overcome this, first try selecting a small region of the new segment to create correct dynamic features.
