Bayesian Order-Adaptive Clustering for Video Segmentation

چکیده
Video segmentation requires the partitioning of a series of images into groups that are both spatially coherent and smooth along the time axis. We formulate segmentation as a Bayesian clustering problem. Context information is propagated over time by a conjugate structure. The level of segment resolution is controlled by a Dirichlet process prior. Our contributions include a conjugate nonparametric Bayesian model for clustering in multivariate time series, a MCMC inference algorithm, and a multiscale sampling approach for Dirichlet process mixture models. The multiscale algorithm is applicable to data with a spatial structure. The method is tested on synthetic data and on videos from the MPEG4

Online Video Segmentation by Bayesian Split-Merge Clustering
We present an online video segmentation algorithm based on a novel nonparametric Bayesian clustering method called Bayesian Split-Merge Clustering (BSMC). BSMC can efficiently cluster dynamically changing data through split and merge processes at each time step, where the decision for splitting and merging is made by approximate posterior distributions over partitions with Dirichlet Process (DP...
متن کاملFeature Extraction for Bayesian Order-Adaptive Video Segmentation
In this semester thesis, we study a Bayesian order-adaptive approach to video segmentation based on Dirichlet process methods. We focus particularly on the feature selection for the algorithm. Local color histograms as well as spatial features modeled by Gaussian distributions are employed. The method is tested on synthetic data and on videos from the MPEG-4 benchmark set.
متن کاملColor Image Segmentation using Adaptive Spatial Gaussian Mixture Model
An adaptive spatial Gaussian mixture model is proposed for clustering based color image segmentation. A new clustering objective function which incorporates the spatial information is introduced in the Bayesian framework. The weighting parameter for controlling the importance of spatial information is made adaptive to the image content to augment the smoothness towards piecewisehomogeneous regi...

This paper presents an approach for a real-time region-based motion segmentation and tracking using an adaptive thresholding and k-means clustering in a scene, with focus on a video monitoring system. In order to reduce the computational load to the motion segmentation, the presented approach is based on the variation regions application of a weighted k-means clustering algorithm, followed by a...
متن کاملRobust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System
Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...
