Separating Foreground and Background in Computer Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
I propose to create a framework for separating foreground information from background in computer displays by constructing “relevancy masks.” By using various sources of structural information, I will be able to determine how likely it is that any given pixel on a screen is part of the foreground (the essential information) of the display. These masks can be used for a variety of applications, including automatic webpage contrast adjustment, improving video or image compression, and intelligently guiding pop-up window placement.

Statistical Background Modeling Based on Velocity and Orientation of Moving Objects
Background modeling is an important step in moving object detection and tracking. In this paper, we propose a new statistical approach in which, a sequence of frames are selected according to velocity and direction of some moving objects and then an initial background is modeled, based on the detection of gray pixel's value changes. To have used this sequence of frames, no estimator or distribu...
متن کاملTracking and removal of suspended matter from underwater video images
We propose a method for obtaining clear underwater images by tracking the motion of suspended matter from video images captured in water and by separating the images into foreground and background. We assume that input images are the superposition of a foreground and a background, and constructed a transition model and the observation model. An input image is divided into patches and tracking o...
متن کاملLossless Microarray Image Compression by Hardware Array Compactor
Microarray technology is a new and powerful tool for concurrent monitoring of large number of genes expressions. Each microarray experiment produces hundreds of images. Each digital image requires a large storage space. Hence, real-time processing of these images and transmission of them necessitates efficient and custom-made lossless compression schemes. In this paper, we offer a new archi...
متن کاملEnhancement of Learning Based Image Matting Method with Different Background/Foreground Weights
The problem of accurate foreground estimation in images is called Image Matting. In image matting methods, a map is used as learning data, which is produced by those pixels that are definitely foreground, definitely background ,and unknown. This three-level pixel map is often referred to as a trimap, which is produced manually in alpha matte datasets. The true class of unknown pixels will be es...
متن کاملBackground Separation Encoding for Surveillance Purpose by using Stable Foreground Separation
An efficient encoding approach by separating background/foreground videos from a single video is proposed for surveillance applications. The required bit-rate becomes less than a half of that by a standard H.264 approach. The reduction comes from the employment of the low resolution background pictures with a low frame-rate. In addition, the foreground video is automatically handled so that the...
