Long-term moving object segmentation and tracking using spatio-temporal consistency
نویسندگان
چکیده
The success of object-based media representation and description (e.g., MPEG-4 and –7) depends largely on effective object segmentation tools. In this paper, we expand our previous work on automatic video region tracking and develop a robust-moving objects detection system. In our system, we first utilize innovative methods of combining color and edge information in improving the object motion estimation results. Then we use the long-term spatio-temporal constraints to achieve reliable object tracking over long sequences. Our extensive experiments demonstrate excellent results in handling challenging cases in general domains (e.g., stock footage) including depth-varying multi-layer background and fast camera motion.

Temporal Semantic Motion Segmentation Using Spatio Temporal Optimization
Segmenting moving objects in a video sequence has been a challenging problem and critical to outdoor robotic navigation. While recent literature has laid focus on regularizing object labels over a sequence of frames, exploiting the spatio-temporal features for motion segmentation has been scarce. Particularly in real world dynamic scenes, existing approaches fail to exploit temporal consistency...
متن کاملSegmentation of vehicles and pedestrians in traffic scene by spatio-temporal Markov random field model
For a long period, object tracking in images has suffered from occlusion problem. In order to resolve occlusion problems, we proposed the Spatio-Temporal Markov Random Field model for segmentation of spatio-temporal images in 2000. This S-T MRF optimizes the segmentation boundaries of occluded objects and their motion vectors simultaneously, by referring to textures and segment labeling correla...

An automatic technique for detecting and tracking the objects forming the scene is presented. No a priori information nor constraints about the scene content are required. In particular, no assumption is made about a static background or a predefined number of objects in the scene. Any class of sequences can thus be analyzed by the proposed technique. The object detection procedure relies on a ...

Abstract. This master thesis discribes a new dense spatio-temporal motion segmentation algorithm with application to tracking of people in crowded environments. The algorithm is based on state-of-the-art motion and image segmentation algorithms. We specifically make use of a mean shift image segmentation algorithm and two graph based motion segmentation algorithms. The resulting motion segmenta...
متن کاملGranulation, rough entropy and spatiotemporal moving object detection
A new spatio-temporal segmentation approach for moving object(s) detection and tracking from a video sequence is described. Spatial segmentation is carried out using rough entropy maximization, where we use the quad-tree decomposition, resulting in unequal image granulation which is closer to natural granulation. A three point estimation based on Beta Distribution is formulated for background e...
