Circular Viterbi based adaptive system for automatic video object segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many future video standards such as MPEG-4 are shifting focus from compression to content; Video Object Segmentation is the key technology required by these standards. Unlike still images, motion in video can be used to discriminate between objects. We present an automatic video single object segmentation system whose core is the adaptive version of the Circular Viterbi algorithm. The Circular Viterbi algorithm fuses the information from motion analysis, edge analysis, active contours (dynamic snake), and temporal correlation into a uniied system. Results of pixel-resolution boundaries from our system are shown. Analysis of results, the integration of human-guided data and region-based analysis and a future iterative scheme for multiple object sequences are also discussed.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

متن کاملSemiautomatic video object segmentation using VSnakes
Video object segmentation and tracking are essential for content-based video processing. This paper presents a framework for a semiautomatic approach to this problem. A semantic video object is initialized with human assistance in a key frame. The video object is then tracked and segmented automatically in the following frames. A new active contour model, VSnakes, is introduced as a segmentatio...
