Abstract--The emerging video coding standard MPEG-4 enables various content-based functionalities for multimedia applications. To support such functionalities, as well as to improv...
Most existing object segmentation algorithms suffer from a so-called under-segmentation problem, where parts of the segmented object are missing and holes often occur inside the ob...
We present an irregular image pyramid which is derived from multi-scale analysis of segmented watershed regions. Our framework is based on the development of regions in the Gaussia...
A robust video object segmentation algorithm for complex conditions in surveillance systems is proposed in this paper. This algorithm contains an unsupervised K-Means background c...
Knowing the background image of a video scene simplifies the general video-object segmentation problem and therefore it is required by several automatic segmentation algorithms. T...
