Improved Rodent Contour Extraction Using A Priori Shape Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a method for automatically setting the foreground detection threshold implicit in background subtraction algorithms by measuring the similarity between the shape of a detected foreground region and a set of reference contours over a range of thresholds, and selecting the threshold that maximises this similarity measure. This method is shown to select appropriate thresholds for a range of unseen video frames.

Rigid and Non-rigid Shape Evolutions for Shape Alignment and Recovery in Images
The same type of objects in different images may vary in their shapes because of rigid and non-rigid shape deformations, occluding foreground as well as cluttered background. The problem concerned in this work is the shape extraction in such challenging situations. We approach the shape extraction through shape alignment and recovery. This paper presents a novel and general method for shape ali...
متن کاملContours Extraction Using Line Detection and Zernike Moment
Most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. To solve the problem, this paper utilizes Zernike Moment (ZM) and Pseudo Zernike Moment (PZM) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...
متن کاملA B-snake model using statistical and geometric information-applications to medical images
A B-snake model using statistics information for segmenting 2D objects from medical images is presented in this paper. Based on our previous research work[10], a statistical model is proposed for our B-snake model, in order to use available priori knowledge about the object shape being studied. This method allows the deformation of B-snake to be influenced primarily by the most reliable matches...
متن کاملLip Contour Detection Techniques Based on Front View of Face
Lip contour detection and tracking is the most important pre-requisite for computerized speech reading. Several approaches have been proposed for lip tracking after lip contour is accurately initialized on first frame. Detection and tracking of the lip contour is an issue in speech reading. A relatively large class of lip reading algorithms are available based on lip contour analysis. In these ...
متن کاملIntelligent Visual Descriptor Extraction from Video Sequences
Extraction of visual descriptors is a crucial problem for stateof-the-art visual information analysis. In this paper, we present a knowledgebased approach for detection of visual objects in video sequences, extraction of visual descriptors and matching with pre-defined objects. The proposed approach models objects through their visual descriptors defined in MPEG7. It first extracts moving regio...
