This paper presents a novel method to involve both spatial and temporal features for semantic segmentation of street scenes. Current work on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has shown that CNNs provide advanced spatial features supporting a very good performance of solutions for the semantic segmentation task. We investigate how involving temporal features also has a good effect on segmenti...

Object segmentation is a problem within the scope of MPEG-4 standardization activities. This paper proposes a novel technique to extract the moving objects in the video sequences. Our approach is based on the integration of mosaic-based temporal segmentation and color-based spatial segmentation. The mosaic representation of video allows us to fully exploit the spatio-temporal information in the...

We propose an evolving scheme to detect slow as well as fast moving objects in a video sequence. The proposed scheme employ both spatio-temporal and temporal segmentation to obtain the Video Object plane and hence detection. We propose a Compound Markov Random Field Model as the a priori image model that takes into account the spatial distribution of the current frame, temporal frames and the e...

The new MPEG-4 video coding standard enables content-based functionalities. In order to support the philosophy of the MPEG-4 visual standard, each frame of video sequences should be represented in terms of video object planes (VOP’s). In other words, video objects to be encoded in still pictures or video sequences should be prepared before the encoding process starts. Therefore, it requires a p...

Background and Objectives: Identification of surgical instruments in laparoscopic video images has several biomedical applications. While several methods have been proposed for accurate detection of surgical instruments, the accuracy of these methods is still challenged high complexity of the laparoscopic video images. This paper introduces a Surgical Instrument Detection Framework (SIDF) for a...

In this paper, we introduce an object segmentation algorithm that can be used in object oriented video coding, computer vision, target tracking or video sequence analysis. The algorithm is based on two kinds of information from a video sequence: the color segmentation which provides the spatial domain information and the motion estimation which provides the temporal information. The DWT based M...

E4ective annotation and content-based search for videos in a digital library require a preprocessing step of detecting, locating and classifying scene transitions, i.e., temporal video segmentation. This paper proposes a novel approach— spatial–temporal joint probability image (ST-JPI) analysis for temporal video segmentation. A joint probability image (JPI) is derived from the joint probabilit...

AbstractVideo semantic segmentation has achieved great progress under the supervision of large amounts labelled training data. However, domain adaptive video segmentation, which can mitigate data labelling constraints by adapting from a source toward an unlabelled target domain, is largely neglected. We design temporal pseudo (TPS), simple and effective method that explores idea consistency for...

We apply the fast bilateral solver technique to the problem of real-time semantic video segmentation. While structured prediction by a dense CRF is accurate on video datasets, the performance is not adequate for real-time segmentation. We hope to utilize the efficient smoothing methodology from the fast bilateral solver within the video segmentation framework introduced by Kundu et al. [9], imp...

Video segmentation is to partition the video into several semantically consistent spatio-temporal regions. It is a fundamental computer vision problem in many applications, such as object tracking, activity recognition, video analytics, summarization and indexing. However, there exists several remaining issues to be addressed. First, most of video segmentation methods have worse segmentation qu...
