Video Object Segmentation Using Stereo - Derived Depth Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we explore possibilities to improve existing video segmentation algorithms by utilizing a stereo-derived depth map as additional source of information. The goal is to make the segmentation results more robust in order to reduce the need for user interaction in typical video editing and compositing tasks. In tests with synthetic and real video scenes, we show that a combination of the original and stereo-derived edges in conjunction with active contour models (snakes) can improve the quality of the segmentation results.

3DFS: Deformable Dense Depth Fusion and Segmentation for Object Reconstruction from a Handheld Camera
We propose an approach for 3D reconstruction and segmentation of a single object placed on a flat surface from an input video. Our approach is to perform dense depth map estimation for multiple views using a proposed objective function that preserves detail. The resulting depth maps are then fused using a proposed implicit surface function that is robust to estimation error, producing a smooth ...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Segmentation with Depth-Inferred Videos of Static Scenes
Extracting spatio-temporally consistent segments from a video sequence is a challenging problem due to the complexity of color, motion and occlusions. Most existing spatio-temporal segmentation approaches rely on pairwise motion estimation, which have inherent difficulties in handling large displacement with significant occlusions. This paper presents a novel spatio-temporal segmentation method...

This paper proposes a novel architecture for video-rate stereo machine. It is unfeasible to directly implement a video-rate machine with occlusion handling mechanism, because the computational cost for the correspondence search is higher than that of a simple polynocular stereo algorithm without occlusion handling. Our idea is to integrate two algorithms withlwithout occlusion handling mechanis...

In this paper, we present an efficient technique for unsupervised semantically meaningful object segmentation of stereoscopic video sequences. By this technique we achieve to extract semantic objects using the additional information a stereoscopic pair of frames provides. Each pair is analyzed and the disparity field, occluded areas and depth map are estimated. The key algorithm, which is appli...
