Identifying Foreground from Multiple Images

چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel foreground extraction method that automatically identifies image regions corresponding to a common space region seen from multiple cameras. We assume that background regions present some color coherence in each image and we exploit the spatial consistency constraint that several image projections of the same space region must satisfy. Integrating both color and spatial consistency constraints allows to fully automatically segment foreground and background regions in multiple images. In contrast to standard background subtraction approaches, the proposed approach does not require any a priori knowledge on the background nor user interactions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for multiple camera setups with experimental results on standard real data sets.

Unsupervised Identification of Multiple Objects of Interest from Multiple Images: dISCOVER
Given a collection of images of offices, what would we say we see in the images? The objects of interest are likely to be monitors, keyboards, phones, etc. Such identification of the foreground in a scene is important to avoid distractions caused by background clutter and facilitates better understanding of the scene. It is crucial for such an identification to be unsupervised to avoid extensiv...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Action Sequence Images from Burst Shots
Many sports enthusiasts, from novice photographers to professional publishers, rely on manual image segmentation with tools like Photoshop to combine multiple images of a bike trick or basketball dunk into a single image by cutting out the foreground of each image and overlaying it onto the background of one image. The goal of this project is to develop an algorithm that can automatically combi...

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 کاملUsability of Cluster Based Co-Saliency in Video Foreground Detection
Ability of human visual system to detect prominent regions in an image is fast, reliable and efficient. Computational modeling of this extraordinary behavior is termed as saliency detection. Saliency detection identifies salient regions in an image and is relevant in many computer vision applications such as object recognition, image segmentation, image retrieval etc. The term co-saliency can b...
متن کاملSpam Image Clustering for Identifying Common Sources of Unsolicited Emails
In this article, we propose a spam image clustering approach that uses data mining techniques to study the image attachments of spam emails with the goal to help the investigation of spam clusters or phishing groups. Spam images are first modeled based on their visual features. In particular, the foreground text layout, foreground picture illustrations and background textures are analyzed. Afte...
