Selective Search is a region proposal algorithm for object detection tasks. It starts by over-segmenting the image based on intensity of the pixels using a graph-based segmentation method by Felzenszwalb and Huttenlocher. Selective Search then takes these oversegments as initial input and performs the following steps

  1. Add all bounding boxes corresponding to segmented parts to the list of regional proposals
  2. Group adjacent segments based on similarity
  3. Go to step 1

At each iteration, larger segments are formed and added to the list of region proposals. Hence we create region proposals from smaller segments to larger segments in a bottom-up approach. This is what we mean by computing “hierarchical” segmentations using Felzenszwalb and Huttenlocher’s oversegments.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (23 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
