Object segmentation and tracking is a fundamental step for many digital video applications. In this paper, we present an active system (AMOS) which combines low level automatic region segmentation with an active method for defining and tracking high-level semantic video objects. The system contains two stages: an initial object segmentation stage where user input in the starting frame is used t...

In the Drosophila peripheral nervous system, proneural genes direct the formation of different types of sensory organs. Here, we show that amos is a novel proneural gene that promotes multiple dendritic (MD) neuron formation. amos encodes a basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein of the Atonal family. During embryonic development, amos is expressed in patches of ectodermal cells, and the expressi...
