A Variational Approach for Object Contour Tracking
In this paper we describe a new framework for the tracking of closed curves described through implicit surface modeling. The approach proposed here enables a continuous tracking along an image sequence of deformable object contours. Such an approach is formalized through the minimization of a global spatio-temporal continuous cost functional stemming from a Bayesian Maximum a posteriori estimat...
متن کاملPSF Estimation via Covariance Matching
This paper proposes a new covariance matching based technique for blurred image PSF (point spread function) estimation. A patch based image degradation model is proposed for the covariance matching estimation framework. A robust covariance metric which is based on Riemannian manifold is adapted to measure the distance between covariance matrices. The optimal PSF is computed by minimizing the di...
متن کاملVariational Segmentation and Contour Matching of Non-Rigid Moving Object
In this paper we propose a method for variational segmentation and contour matching of non-rigid objects in image sequences which can deal with the occlusions. The method is based on a region-based active contour model of the Chan-Vese, augmented with a frame-to-frame interaction term which uses the segmentation result from the previous frame as a shape prior. This method has given good results...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Prediction Method for Object Contour Tracking
In this paper we present an approach for probabilistic contour prediction in an object tracking system. We combine level-set methods for image segmentation with optical flow estimations based on probability distribution functions (pdf’s) calculated at each image position. Unlike most recent level-set methods that consider exclusively the sign of the level-set function to determine an object and...
متن کاملFAST IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIATIONAL, CONTOUR−BASED OBJECT TRACKING (TueAmOR1)
Abstract : We present a fast contour−based object tracking using an active contour which clings towards the maximum of contrast alongside the object boundary. The contour motion, modeled by a time−differential equation, is driven by a gradient descent flow with a variable integration time step. The best−fit time step to reach the extrema of the functional is estimated in the least squared error...
