Multiscale Combinatorial Grouping
MCG is the package code that implements the algorithms presented in:
Pont-Tuset J, Arbelaez P, Barron J, Marques F, Malik J, "Multiscale Combinatorial Grouping for Image Segmentation and Object Proposal Generation," TPAMI 2016.
Arbelaez P, Pont-Tuset J, Barron J, Marques F, Malik J, "Multiscale Combinatorial Grouping," CVPR 2014.
Please consider citing the papers if you use this code.

CAUTION
The 'full' package is not completely up to date, use it only if you need to re-train the Pareto front or the ranking in MCG, then use 'pre-trained' to do the actual computations.
'Full' and 'Pre-Trained' packages not compatible with Windows.
