Automatic extraction of moving objects using multiple features and multiple frames

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel automatic video object extraction algorithm based on combination of color and motion segmentation results. The algorithm includes five parts: preprocessing, color segmentation, motion segmentation, combination of color and motion segmentation of multiple frames, post-processing. The performance of this algorithm is very promising, resulting in pixel-wise accuracy of extracted objects. Since it is an automatic extraction algorithm, it can be very useful in some real time video processing system based on video objects.
