Video Matting Using Motion Extended Grabcut
نویسندگان
چکیده
GrabCut is perhaps the most powerful semi-automatic algorithm for matting presented to date. In its existing form, it is not suitable for video object segmentation. This paper considers major extensions that make it suitable for this purpose. A method for initialising matting without user intervention is presented, followed by a more robust data model using a Mean Shift algorithm to control model complexity. In addition, normalised motion information as well as colour is used to form joint colour and motion feature vectors. This improves the robustness of the mattes in the presence of colour camouflage and decreases the user intervention required for a successful result. Comparison between GrabCut and the proposed Motion Extended GrabCut (MxGrabCut), shows the improvement for video matting.

Surveillance Video Synopsis Based on Moving Object Matting Using Non- interactive GrabCut
An algorithm of surveillance video synopsis is presented in this paper. At first, the detection method of moving object for surveillance video is proposed. Then the ROI (Region of Interest) of moving object is extracted and a noninteractive matting algorithm of moving object based on GrabCut is presented. These matting moving objects are placed without overlapping in a background image, so a fr...
متن کاملAffinity Matting for Pixel-accurate Fin Shape Recovery from Great White Shark Imagery
The objective of this paper is to obtain pixel-accurate reconstructions of white shark fins given automatically generated coarse pre-segmentations. Reconstruction performance is compared for affinity matting, colour matting and GrabCut against expert annotated ground truth for a test-set of 120 fin images taken in the wild. For the present domain, we find affinity matting able to most accuratel...
متن کاملBayesian Video Matting Using Motion Based Segmentation
Video matting attempts to extract foreground images from an image sequence, as well as the alpha-mattes that describe their transparency. This papers presents an automated video matting framework using motion-based segmentation and bayesian matting. We build upon existing techniques for layer segmentation based on optical flow to generate a coarse trimap, by identifying image pixels as belongin...
متن کاملPerceptually Motivated Benchmark for Video Matting
Despite recent progress in the field of video matting, neither public data sets nor even a generally accepted method of measuring quality has yet emerged. In this paper we present an online benchmark for video-matting methods. Using chroma keying and a reflection-aware stop-motion capturing procedure, we prepared 12 test sequences. Then, using subjective data, we performed extensive comparative...
متن کاملImage and Video Matting: A Survey
Matting refers to the problem of accurate foreground estimation in images and video. It is one of the key techniques in many image editing and film production applications, thus has been extensively studied in the literature. With the recent advances of digital cameras, using matting techniques to create novel composites or facilitate other editing tasks has gained increasing interest from both...
