Alpha Estimation in Natural Images

چکیده

Many boundaries between objects in the world project onto curves in an image. However, boundaries involving natural objects (e.g., trees, hair, water, smoke) are often unworkable under this model because many pixels receive light from more than one object. We propose a technique for estimating alpha, the proportion in which two colors mix to produce a color at the boundary. The technique extends blue screen matting to backgrounds that have almost arbitrary color distributions, though coarse knowledge of the boundary’s location is required. Results show a number of different objects moved from one image to another while maintaining naturalism.

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...

Multiview foreground extraction and composition to multiview background using trimap sharing for natural 3D scene generation

Digital matting for extracting foreground objects from an image is an important process to generate special effects in the movie industry and the broadcasting center. Recently, a digital matting algorithm has been developed to create an alpha matte using a well-focused image generated from multiview images. However, this method could generate only a single-view alpha matte, even though it used ...

Distancecut: Interactive Real-time Segmentation and Matting of Images and Videos

An interactive algorithm for soft segmentation and matting of natural images and videos is presented in this paper. The technique follows and extends [11], where the user first roughly scribbles/labels different regions of interest, and from them the whole data is automatically segmented. The segmentation and alpha matte are obtained from the fast, linear complexity, computation of weighted dis...

تحلیل حرکت جریانات دریائی در تصاویر حرارتی سطح آب دریا

Oceanographic images obtained from environmental satellites by a wide range of sensors allow characterizing natural phenomena through different physical measurements. For instance Sea Surface Temperature (SST) images, altimetry data and ocean color data can be used for characterizing currents and vortex structures in the ocean. The purpose of this thesis is to derive a relatively complete frame...
