PROJECT 6
Q.1.) In the project, object recognition has three steps, which are segmentation of target object,
finding the features of the segmented object, and matching the model features. In segmentation
part, it is implemented an algorithm to find the maximum contour area considering the threshold
value. It is obtained a segmented region that has a background. In order to get rid of the background
in large, it is implemented GrabCut algorithm. In this algorithm, it is requested to mark a single
rectangle around the object (that is max contour here), defining the outer part of the rectangle as
definite background, and the inner part of it as an unknown combination of the object (foreground)
and some background.

In the second part of the project, we need to find the features of the segmented object and
image to be compared by using SURF. We should detect the keypoints for the segmented object and
the image to be compared. After that, we should calculate descriptors (feature vectors). In matching
part, the descriptors are matched.
