Abstract

The paper presents application of multinomial logistic regression for color segmentation. The common problem in the subject of image understanding is creation of a large enough corpus for algorithm training. Especially when a large set of classes has to be recognized or if using convolutional neural networks the size and diversity of the training set strongly influences the quality of the resulting system. We present a method of automated generation of training samples by combining a well-known green box technique with multinomial logistic regression for background substitution. We show the encountered problems and their solutions. We present numerous examples of algorithm performance in background substitution. We conclude the paper with presentation of other examples of application of logistic regression for image understanding.
