Object-based video representation provides great promises for new search and editing functionalities. Feature regions iii video sequences are automatically segmented, tracked, and grouped to form the basis for content-based video search and higher levels of abstraction. We present a new system for video object segmentation and tracking using feature fusion and region grouping. We also present e...

This paper presents a procedure developed to extract quantitative motion information from video recordings of neonatal seizures in the form of temporal motion strength signals. Temporal motion strength signals are obtained from a sequence of video frames by measuring the displacement areas of the infants’ moving body part(s) from frame to frame of the video sequence. The proposed motion segment...

A new mesh generation algorithm is proposed for mesh-based video coding. The still segmentation result of watershed segmentation is projected onto motion segmentation result of change region detection in proposed algorithm. Therefore, mesh presentation generated by our new method is able to reflect both spatial and temporal features of input video sequence. This experimental results show that m...

Advanced video surveillance applications require two successive steps: image analysis and content understanding. The first step analyses and extracts the characteristics of the video sequence. It defines the regions or the objects of interest according to their spatial/temporal properties. This analysis results in a segmentation of the video sequence that is interpreted by the content understan...

This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video sequences. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentation thresholds of video text by a set of weighted samples. After initialization the set of samples is recursively refined by random sampling under a temporal Bayesian framework. The proposed methodology allows us to esti...

Many algorithms for temporal video partitioning rely on the analysis of uncompressed video features. Since the information relevant to the partitioning process can be extracted directly from the MPEG compressed stream, higher efficiency can be achieved utilising information from the MPEG compressed domain. This paper introduces a real time algorithm for scene change detection that analyses the ...

Video segmentation is an important step in many of the video applications We observe that the video shot boundary is a multi resolution edge phe nomenon in the feature space Based on this obser vation we have developed a novel temporal multi resolution analysis MRA based algorithm using Canny wavelets to perform temporal video seg mentation Information across multiple resolutions is used to hel...

Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) has generated a great amount of interest for background/foreground estimation in videos. The central hypothesis in this setting is that a video’s background can be well-represented by a low-rank model. However, in the presence of complex lighting conditions this model is only accurate in localised spatio-temporal regions. Following this observation, we...

We propose a video region segmentation scheme combining spatio-temporal edges and watershed techniques. We consider the video sequence as a 3-D volume and compute color edges within this volume. These color edges form a vector field that is in turn used to obtain an edge function. This edge function is used as a topological surface for a watershed grouping stage. Considering the video as a 3-D ...
