Abstract. We propose an efficient way to account for spatial smoothness in foreground-background segmentation of video sequences. Most statistical background modeling techniques re...
This paper deals with fast image and video segmentation using active contours. Region based active contours using level-sets are powerful techniques for video segmentation but the...
A method for video indexing and filtering based on motion activity characteristics in hierarchical levels is proposed. To extract motion activity information, an MPEG (MPEG-1/2) v...
Abstract. The exploitation of video data requires to extract information at a rather semantic level, and then, methods able to infer "concepts" from low-level video featu...
