In this paper, to explore whether a shape feature influences object segmentation, we propose a specific shape feature, Fisher shape (a form of bag of contour fragments), and we combine this with the appearance feature with multiple kernel learning to create a pipeline of object segmentation system. The experimental results on benchmark datasets clearly demonstrate that the pipeline of object segmentation is effective and that the Fisher shape can improve object segmentation with only the appearance feature.
