A Fast Vop Extraction Technique Based on Wavelet Transform and Watershed Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a very fast, noise robust and accurate video object plane (VOP) extraction algorithm based on wavelet transform and watershed segmentation techniques is proposed. The proposed algorithm firstly, applies the wavelet transform on incoming frames and uses the approximation coefficient matrix of the first level through out the algorithm. This not only increases the speed of the algorithm but also reduces the camera noise. The proposed method subsequently uses a prediction method to apply the watershed algorithm on those areas of the sub-image that might contain a moving object. This prediction stage increases the speed of the segmentation process efficiently. The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm when compared with other available schemes.

متن کاملRobust Watershed Segmentation Using the Wavelet Transform
The watershed transform has been used for image segmentation relying mostly on image gradients. However, background noise tends to produce spurious gradients, that cause over-segmentation and degrade the output of the watershed transform. Also, low-contrast edges produce gradients with small magnitudes, which may cause different regions to be erroneously merged. In this paper, a new technique i...
