This is the software bundle "ImageSpirit", created and maintained by: Shuia Zheng [email protected] Ming Ming Cheng [email protected]

1. Building the System

This code is tested under Windows 8.1 system with Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012. You are required to have OpenCV 2.4 and Qt 4.8 installed.

2. Build Process

You open the sln file with visual studio, then compile it, if you set up all the paths.

3. Functions

This software contains the implementation of using factorial DenseCRF in the application of semantic image segmentation. Further image editing application can be done with the CmmCode library.

4. Reference
