Category Independent Object Proposals


Overview

This work aims to provide a small pool of regions for an image, that are likely to contain every object in the image, regardless of category.

News

Downloads

Category Independent Object Proposal Code PROP_code.tar.gz (15MB)
The code to generate a ranked pool of candidate object regions for each image.
This code is written in Matlab, with supporing compiled mex functions.
I've tested it on 32 and 64 bit linux machines (Matlab 2009b i.e. 7.9)
Annotated Dataset PROP_BSDS_ann.tar.gz (390KB)
These are the annotations we added to the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset.
These annotations provide the segmentations for each object, and respect the region boundaries of the original dataset.
PASCAL VOC 2010 Precomputed Proposals pascal_2010_proposals.tar.gz (15.6GB!)
Precomputed regions for each image in PASCAL VOC 2010 (train+val+test). Please note that this is a very large file.
