چکیده

This paper describes a semi-automatic method for moving object segmentation and tracking. This method is suitable when a few objects have to be tracked, while the camera moves and fixates on them. The user delineates approximately the initial locations in a selected frame and specifies the depth ordering of the objects to be tracked. First, motion-based segmentation is obtained through an initial application of a region growing algorithm. The partition map is sequentially tracked from frame to frame using motion compensation and location prediction. The segmentation map is obtained by the region growing algorithm. Translational motion is assumed for the moving objects, and local intensity or color average may be used as additional features. A post-processing procedure regularizes the object boundaries over time. r 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Supervised video object segmentation using a small number of interactions

In this paper, a supervised video object segmentation algorithm using a small number of interactions is proposed. The proposed algorithm is composed of three steps: semi-automatic first frame segmentation, automatic object tracking and boundary refinement. Homogeneous region segmentation is performed before the user interaction for the first frame to minimize the amount of interaction. Then, a ...

An Efficient Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...

Conceptualization of seeded region growing by pixels aggregation. Part 1: the framework

Adams and Bishop have proposed in 1994 a novel region growing algorithm called seeded region growing by pixels aggregation (SRGPA). This paper introduces a framework to implement an algorithm using SRGPA. This framework is built around two concepts: localization and organization of applied action. This conceptualization gives a quick implementation of algorithms, a direct translation between th...
