Unsupervised lip segmentation under natural conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
An unsupervised algorithm for speaker’s lip segmentation is presented in this paper. A color video sequence of speaker’s face is acquired, under natural lighting conditions and without any particular make-up. First, a logarithmic color transform is performed from RGB to HI (hue, intensity) color space and sequence dependant parameters are evaluated. Second, a statistical approach using Markov random field modeling segment mouth shape using red hue predominant region and motion in a spatiotemporal neighborhood. Simultaneously, a Region Of Interest (ROI) is automatically extracted. Third, the speaker’s lip shape is extracted from the final hue field with good quality results in this challenging situation.

متن کاملUnsupervised Natural Image Segmentation Using Mean Histogram Features
A new histogram feature based natural image segmentation algorithm has been proposed. The proposed scheme uses histogram based new color texture extraction method which inherently combines color texture features rather then explicitly extracting it. A non parametric Bayesean clustering is employed to make the segmentation framework fully unsupervised where no a priori knowledge about the number...
متن کاملA Semi-Supervised Method for Segmenting Multi-Modal Data
Human activity datasets collected under natural conditions are an important source of data. Since these contain multiple activities in unscripted sequence, temporal segmentation of multimodal datasets is an important precursor to recognition and analysis. Manual segmentation is prohibitively time consuming and unsupervised approaches for segmentation are unreliable since they fail to exploit th...
