Articulated Motion Segmentation Using RANSAC with Priors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Articulated motions are partially dependent. Most of the existing segmentation methods, e.g. Costeira and Kanade[2], can not be applied to articulated motions. We propose a novel algorithm for articulated motion segmentation called RANSAC with priors. It does not require prior knowledge of the number of articulated parts. It is both robust and efficient. Its robustness comes from its RANSAC nature. Its efficiency is due to the priors, which are derived from the spectral affinities between every pair of trajectories. We test our algorithm with synthetic and real data. In some highly challenging case, where other motion segmentation algorithms may fail, our algorithm still achieves robust results. Though our algorithm is inspired by articulated motions, it also applies to independent motions which can be regarded as a special case and treated uniformly.

A Variational Framework for Pedestrian Segmentation in Cluttered Scenes Using Bag of Optical Flows and Shape Priors
In this thesis, we present a framework for segmentation of pedestrians in videos. Traditional image segmentation algorithms have relied on learning an appearance model for the regions of interest in an image and using that model to segment new images. However, large variations in the appearance of pedestrians due to differences in clothing makes it impossible to learn a reliable appearance mode...
متن کاملA 3D Feature-Based Tracker for Tracking Multiple Moving Objects with a Controlled Binocular Head
Object tracking is an important task for active vision and robotics. This paper presents a 3D feature-based tracker for tracking multiple moving objects with a computer-controlled binocular head. Our tracker operates in two phases: an initialization phase and a tracking phase. In the initial-ization phase, correspondence between 2D features in the first stereo image pair is determined reliably ...

The goal of this research is to develop algorithms using multiple views to automatically recover complete 3D models of articulated objects in unstructured environments and thereby enable a robotic system to facilitate further manipulation of those objects. First, an algorithm called Procrustes-Lo-RANSAC (PLR) is presented. Structure-from-motion techniques are used to capture 3D point cloud mode...
متن کاملMotion Segmentation of Articulated Structures by Integration of Visual Perception Criteria
The correct segmentation of articulated motion is an important factor to extract and understand the functional structures of complex, articulated objects. Segmenting such body motion without additional appearance information is still a challenging task, because articulated objects as e.g. the human body are mainly based on fine, connected structures. The proposed approach combines consensus bas...
