Simultaneous Segmentation and Object Behavior Classification of Image Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we advance the state of the art in variational image segmentation through the fusion of bottom-up segmentation and top-down classification of object behavior over an image sequence. Such an approach is beneficial for both tasks and is carried out through a joint optimization, which enables the two tasks to cooperate, such that knowledge relevant to each can aid in the resolution of the other, thus enhancing the final result. In particular, classification offers dynamic probabilistic priors to guide segmentation, while segmentation supplies its results to classification, ensuring that they are consistent with prior knowledge. The prior models are learned from training data and they adapt dynamically, based on segmentations of earlier images in the sequence. We demonstrate the power of our approach in a hand gesture recognition application, where the combined use of segmentation and classification dramatically improves robustness in the presence of occlusion and background complexity.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...

متن کاملUsing a Novel Concept of Potential Pixel Energy for Object Tracking
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new method for kernel based object tracking which tracks the complete non rigid object. Definition the union image blob and mapping it to a new representation which we named as potential pixels matrix are the main part of tracking algorithm. The union image blob is constructed by expanding the previous object region based on the histogram feature. The pote...
