Automatic TV Logo Detection, Tracking and Removal in Broadcast Video

TV logo detection, tracking and removal play an important role in the applications of claiming video content ownership, logo-based broadcasting surveillance, commercial skipping, and program rebroadcasting with new logos. In this paper, we present a novel and robust framework using tensor method for these three tasks. First, we use tensor based generalized gradient and the OTSU binarization algorithm to logo detection, and propose a two level framework from coarse to fine to tracking the TV logos. Finally, we extend the regularization PDEs by incorporation of temporal information to inpaint the logo region. Due to
