Object segmentation and object labeling are important techniques in the field of image processing. Because object segmentation techniques developed using two-dimensional images may cause segmentation errors for overlapping objects, this paper proposes a three-dimensional object segmentation and labeling algorithm that combines the segmentation and labeling functions using contour and distance information for static images. The proposed algorithm can segment and label the object without relying on the dynamic information of consecutive images and without obtaining the characteristics of the segmented objects in advance. The algorithm can also effectively segment and label complex overlapping objects and estimate the object’s distance and size according to the labeling contour information. In this paper, a self-made image capture system is developed to capture test images and the actual distance and size of the objects are also measured using measuring tools. The measured data is used as a reference for the estimated data of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively segment and label the complex overlapping objects, obtain the estimated distance and size of each object, and satisfy the detection requirements of objects at a long-range in outdoor scenes.
