چکیده

Motion-based segmentation is traditionally used for video object extraction. Objects are detected as groups of significant moving regions and tracked through the sequence. However, this approach presents difficulties for video shots that contain both static and dynamic moments, and detection is prone to fail in absence of motion. In addition, retrieval of static contents is needed for high-level descriptions. In this paper, we present a new graph-based approach to extract spatio-temporal regions. The method performs iteratively on pairs of frames through a hierarchical merging process. Spatial merging is first performed to build spatial atomic regions, based on color similarities. Then, we propose a new matching procedure for the temporal grouping of both static and moving regions. A feature point tracking stage allows to create dynamic temporal edges between frames and group strongly connected regions. Space-time constraints are then applied to merge the main static regions and a region graph matching stage completes the procedure to reach high temporal coherence. Finally, we show the potential of our method for the segmentation of real moving video sequences.

A New Wavelet Based Spatio-temporal Method for Magnification of Subtle Motions in Video

Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...

STCS-GAF: Spatio-Temporal Compressive Sensing in Wireless Sensor Networks- A GAF-Based Approach

Routing and data aggregation are two important techniques for reducing communication cost of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To minimize communication cost, routing methods can be merged with data aggregation techniques. Compressive sensing (CS) is one of the effective techniques for aggregating network data, which can reduce the cost of communication by reducing the amount of routed data to t...

An automatic technique for detecting and tracking the objects forming the scene is presented. No a priori information nor constraints about the scene content are required. In particular, no assumption is made about a static background or a predefined number of objects in the scene. Any class of sequences can thus be analyzed by the proposed technique. The object detection procedure relies on a ...

Spatio-temporal patterns of crab fisheries in the main bays of Guangdong Province, China

  Using a semi-balloon otter trawl, crab fisheries in the main bays of Guangdong Province, China, were carried out seasonally . A total of 70 species were found, all belonging to the South China Sea Faunal sub region in the tropical India-West-Pacific Faunal Region. The clustering and nMDS ordination analysis revealed the existence of three groups. Group 1 included Hailing Bay and four bays to ...
