[M4IF Technotes] Layout based segmentation

[B.P.Harish]

Dear experts,
Is it possible to do segmentation of a MPEG4 coded
single image based on layout, without using any of the
complex segmentation algorithms developed for object
based encoding, for the purpose of content based
retrieval.
To clarify, given MPEG4 encoded single image having a
bird flying in sky, is it possible to detect the
boundaries/edges of the bird, for the purpose of
"content based" retrieval.
If so, could u pl. advise me on how I can go about it?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
b.p.harish
