چکیده

In this paper, a novel segmentation algorithm for color video sequences using the level set technique is proposed. This algorithm is applied to the problem of automatic face region segmentation in video sequences. Given a target color range training set, a model of that color distribution is formed. An objective function is then defined that seeks the boundaries of any regions in an image that match the target colors. This function is minimized using an implementation of the level set algorithm.

Sign Language Video Segmentation with Level Sets Fusing Color, Texture, Boundary

This paper presents a new and improved concept for segmenting gestures of sign language. The algorithm presented extracts signs from video sequences under various non static backgrounds. The signs are segmented which are normally hands and head of the signing person by minimizing the energy function of the level set fused by various image characteristics such as colour, texture, boundary and sh...

A Bayesian Approach to Object Contour Tracking Using Level Sets

High level vision tasks (recognition, understanding, etc.) for video processing require tracking of the complete contour of the objects. In general, objects undergo non-rigid deformations, which limit the applicability of using motion models (e.g. affine, projective) that impose rigidity constraints on the objects. In this paper, we propose a contour tracking algorithm for video captured from m...

An Algorithm for the Color Image Segmentation of Level Setbased on His Color Space

This paper proposed a rapid level sets method based on HIS color space for the color image segmentation. First, we adopt the method of rapid level sets based on CV mode to improve the segmentation speed. Second, the segmentation of color image can be made with the introduction of the concept of color difference under HIS color mode. In this case, the segmentation can be made exactly even the gr...
