Motion Segmentation at Any Speed
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an incremental approach to motion segmentation. Feature points are detected and tracked throughout an image sequence, and the features are grouped using a region-growing algorithm with an affine motion model. The primary parameter used by the algorithm is the amount of evidence that must accumulate before features are grouped. Contrasted with previous work, the algorithm allows for a variable number of image frames to affect the decision process, thus enabling objects to be detected independently of their velocity in the image. Procedures are presented for grouping features, measuring the consistency of the resulting groups, assimilating new features into existing groups, and splitting groups over time. Experimental results on a number of challenging image sequences demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique.

Speed tuning of motion segmentation and discrimination
Motion transparency requires that the visual system distinguish different motion vectors and selectively integrate similar motion vectors over space into the perception of multiple surfaces moving through or over each other. Using large-field (7 degrees x 7 degrees) displays containing two populations of random-dots moving in the same (horizontal) direction but at different speeds, we examined ...

This paper presents an application of partial differential equations(PDEs) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in CTA datasets. An important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. Level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (PDEs) and have been exte...
متن کاملSpatial scale of motion segmentation from speed cues
For the accurate perception of multiple, potentially overlapping, surfaces or objects, the visual system must distinguish different local motion vectors and selectively integrate similar motion vectors over space to segment the retinal image properly. We recently showed that large differences in speed are required to yield a percept of motion transparency. In the present study, to investigate t...

متن کاملA Holistic, In-Compression Approach to Video Segmentation for Independent Motion Detection
This paper develops a large scale surveillance video data unsupervised segmentation technique regarding whether there is a presence of independent motion. We propose a holistic, in-compression approach to efficient video segmentation. By efficient, we mean that the processing speed is close to or even faster than real-time in “normal” platforms (we do not assume using special hardware or any pa...
