Spatial Temporal Active Contour Interpolation for Semi-Automatic Video Object Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An active-contour-interpolation approach is proposed for semi-automatic video object generation. In this approach, user can de ne the contour of the same video object on multiple frames and the computer interpolates the missing contours automatically. Typical active contour model is adapted and the contour interpolation problem is decomposed into two directional contour tracking problems and a merging problem. In addition, a new concept of parametric neighborhood template is introduced in order to improve the robustness of contour tracking.

Semi-automatic video object segmentation basing on hierarchy optical flow
Abstract In the new MPEG-4 video coding standard, the semi -automatic video segmentation plays a key role in supporting object-oriented coding and enabling content-based functionalities. A novel hierarchy optical flow based semi -automatic video segmentation method is presented in this paper. The proposed segmentation method contains spatial and temporal segmentation. For the spatial segmentati...
متن کاملAn interactive authoring system for video object segmentation and annotation
An interactive authoring system is proposed for semi-automatic video object (VO) segmentation and annotation. This system features a new contour interpolation algorithm, which enables the user to define the contour of a VO on multiple frames while the computer interpolates the missing contours of this object on every frame automatically. Typical active contour (snake) model is adapted and the c...
متن کاملSemi-Automatic Semantic Object Extraction for Video Coding
A semi-automatic algorithm to extract the semantic video object in image sequences is proposed. Different schemes are used to get the initial video object in the first frame and other frames of a sequence. In the first frame, two polygons are input by the user to specify the area in which the object boundary is located. Then the video object is extracted automatically based on only the first fr...
متن کاملActive Surfaces for Video Tracking and 3-D Segmentation Based on a New Method for Multidimensional Optimization
We propose an optimal framework for active surface extraction from video sequences. An active surface is a collection of active contours in successive frames such that the active contours are constrained by spatial and temporal energy terms. The spatial energy terms impose constraints on the active contour in a given frame. The temporal energy terms relate the active contours in different frame...
متن کاملZodiac2: An Authoring Tool for Active Video Content
Conventional digital video playback systems provide only limited user interactivity, mostly in the form of VCRlike controls such as fast forward/backward, slow motion, pause/stop, etc. In this model, the temporal ordering and the spatial viewpoints of the video streams being viewed are completely determined at authoring time. In contrast, this work describes an Active Video system, which suppor...
