Multi-object Segmentation in a Projection Plane Using Subtraction Stereo

We propose a method for multi-object segmentation in a projection plane. Our algorithm requires a stereo camera system called Subtraction Stereo, which extracts foreground information with a fixed stereo camera. The main contribution of this paper is how the image sequences that include partial occlusion of the foreground objects can be accurately segmented using mean shift clustering in real-time processing. The proposed method is suitable for inside a mediumsized environment, such as a room. Finally, we try to segment the sequences that include occlusion and show the accuracy of the proposed method.
