A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
Video matting, or layer extraction, is a classic inverse problem in computer vision that involves the extraction of foreground objects, and the alpha mattes that describe their op...
We propose a region-based method to extract semantic foreground regions from color video sequences with static backgrounds. First, we introduce a new distance measure for backgrou...
We present an integrated pixel segmentation and region tracking algorithm, designed for indoor environments. Visual monitoring systems often use frame differencing techniques to i...
In archiving video for surveillance, frame-based coding has been used and it makes storage size large because the whole image is stored even if there is no object in the image. On...
