Traditional GrabCut algorithms are limited by their reliance on manual intervention, often resulting in segmentation errors and missed detections, particularly against complex backgrounds. This study addresses these limitations by introducing the Auto Trademark Cut (AT-Cut), an advanced automated trademark image-segmentation method built upon an enhanced GrabCut framework. The proposed approach achieves superior performance through three key innovations: Firstly, histogram equalization is applied to the entire input image to mitigate noise induced by illumination variations and other environmental factors. Secondly, state-of-the-art object detection techniques are utilized to precisely identify and extract the foreground target, with dynamic region definition based on detection outcomes to ensure heightened segmentation accuracy. Thirdly, morphological erosion and dilation operations are employed to refine the contours of the segmented target, leading to significantly improved edge segmentation quality. Experimental results indicate that AT-Cut enables efficient, fully automated trademark segmentation while minimizing the necessity for labor-intensive manual labeling. Evaluation on the public Real-world Logos dataset demonstrates that the proposed method surpasses conventional GrabCut algorithms in both boundary localization accuracy and overall segmentation quality, achieving a mean accuracy of 90.5%.
