Motion estimation based tracking of active contours
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the application of active contours or snakes for tracking of contours in image sequences. We propose to use the dynamic programming implementation of the snakes in order to restrict the possible candidates for a given snaxel to those that have a high correlation with the corresponding snaxel in the previous frame. Besides, we claim that, in tracking applications, the motion compensation error has to be introduced in the external energy of the snake to be able to track generic contours.

Facial parameter extraction system based on active contours
This paper addresses the application of active contours or snakes for location and tracking of facial features. Conventional snake approaches find the position of the snake by finding a minimum of its energy, composed of internal and external forces. The external forces pull the contours toward features such as lines and edges. However, in many applications this minimization leads to contours t...
متن کاملSegmentation of Myocardial Boundaries in Tagged Cardiac MRI Using Active Contours: A Gradient-Based Approach Integrating Texture Analysis
The noninvasive assessment of cardiac function is of first importance for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Among all medical scanners only a few enables radiologists to evaluate the local cardiac motion. Tagged cardiac MRI is one of them. This protocol generates on Short-Axis (SA) sequences a dark grid which is deformed in accordance with the cardiac motion. Tracking the grid allows sp...
متن کاملReal Time Multiple Object Tracking Based on Active Contours
In this paper our purpose is to present some solutions to multiple object tracking in an image sequence with a real time constraint and a possible mobile camera. We propose to use active contours (or snakes) modelling. Classical active contours fail to track several objects at once, so occlusion problems are difficult to solve. The model proposed here enables some topology change for the object...
متن کاملReal-Time Tracking of Multiple Moving Object Contours in a Moving Camera Image Sequence
This paper describes a new method for detection and tracking of moving objects from a moving camera image sequence using robust estimation and active contour models. We assume that the apparent background motion between two consecutive image frames can be approximated by affine transformation. In order to register the static background, we estimate affine transformation parameters using LMedS (...
متن کاملTracking Curvilinear Structures Using Active Contours and Application to Microtubule Videos
We present a novel active contour-based tracking algorithm for highly deformable and fast moving curvilinear structures. We propose to use line features as external forces for the active contour for the detection phase in the first frame. For the tracking part, we propose a novel approach of detecting motion of the endpoints and then deformation of the other points using the same active contour...
