Abstract(in English) We have been studying building recognition in natural images by taking picture in a college campus. Itis difficult to recognize buildings accurately because the campus image contains various objects other than buildings in a campus such as people, trees, grass, cars, bicycles and roads. We therefore carried out an image segmentation using image features for accurate building recognition. Two segmentation algorithms were examined: (1) supervised segmentation using Gabor features and a support vector machine and (2) unsupervised segmentation using statistical geometrical features. Segmentation was carried out after converting a color image to a gray scale image. An effective gray scale conversion for image segmentation was also investigated. Computational experiments showed that the supervised segmentation was not able to divide the test images (which were not used to train SVM) satisfactorily. On the other hand, the unsupervised segmentation was able to divide the test images roughly in both cases of luminance and MSB conversion, respectively.
