Book excerpt: Motion segmentation is the task of assigning a binary label to every pixel in an image sequence specifying whether it is a moving foreground object or stationary background. It is often an important task in many computer vision applications such as automatic surveillance and tracking systems. Depending on whether the camera is stationary or moving, different approaches are possible for segmentation. Motion segmentation when the camera is stationary is a well studied problem with many effective algorithms and systems in use today. In contrast, the problem of segmentation with a moving camera is much more complex. In this thesis, we make contributions to the problem of motion segmentation in both camera settings. First for the stationary camera case, we develop a probabilistic model that intuitively combines the various aspects of the problem in a system that is easy to interpret and extend. In most stationary camera systems, a distribution over feature values for the background at each pixel location is learned from previous frames in the sequence and used for classification in the current frame. These pixelwise models fail to account for the influence of neighboring pixels on each other. We propose a model that by spatially spreading the information in the pixelwise distributions better reflects the spatial influence between pixels. Further, we show that existing algorithms that use a constant variance value for the distributions at every pixel location in the image are inaccurate and present an alternate pixelwise adaptive variance method. These improvements result in a system that outperforms all existing algorithms on a standard benchmark. Compared to stationary camera videos, moving camera videos have fewer established solutions for motion segmentation. One of the contributions of this thesis is the development of a viable segmentation method that is effective on a wide range of videos and robust to complex background settings. In moving camera videos, motion segmentation is commonly performed using the image plane motion of pixels, or optical flow. However, objects that are at different depths from the camera can exhibit different optical flows, even if they share the same real-world motion. This can cause a depth-dependent segmentation of the scene. While such a segmentation is meaningful, it can be ineffective for the purpose of identifying independently moving objects. Our goal is to develop a segmentation algorithm that clusters pixels that have similar real-world motion. Our solution uses optical flow orientations instead of the complete vectors and exploits the well-known property that under translational camera motion, optical flow orientations are independent of object depth. We introduce a non-parametric probabilistic model that automatically estimates the number of observed independent motions and results in a labeling that is consistent with real-world motion in the scene. Most importantly, static objects are correctly identified as one segment even if they are at different depths. Finally, a rotation compensation algorithm is proposed that can be applied to real-world videos taken with hand-held cameras. We benchmark the system on over thirty videos from multiple data sets containing videos taken in challenging scenarios. Our system is particularly robust on complex background scenes containing objects at significantly different depths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurate segmentation of moving objects in image sequences is of paramount importance for many object based multimedia applications. In this thesis, we present a novel automatic, multi-frame, region-feature based object segmentation technique. It combines the advantages of feature based methods and gradient based methods. Salient region features are extracted from the first two frames of an image sequence and are tracked over a number of frames. Trajectory clustering is then performed to group these features into putative objects, from which a set of motion models are estimated. Final segmentation result is obtained by region classification based on these motion models. The proposed technique uses both static and motion information to precisely localize object boundaries. It provides reliable and coherent interpretation of the scene over time by exploiting temporal information from several frames. Experimental results on a variety of image sequences clearly show its advantages over traditional techniques.

Book excerpt: An image or video sequence is a series of two-dimensional (2-D) images sequen tially ordered in time. Image sequences can be acquired, for instance, by video, motion picture, X-ray, or acoustic cameras, or they can be synthetically gen erated by sequentially ordering 2-D still images as in computer graphics and animation. The use of image sequences in areas such as entertainment, visual communications, multimedia, education, medicine, surveillance, remote control, and scientific research is constantly growing as the use of television and video systems are becoming more and more common. The boosted interest in digital video for both consumer and professional products, along with the availability of fast processors and memory at reasonable costs, has been a major driving force behind this growth. Before we elaborate on the two major terms that appear in the title of this book, namely motion analysis and image sequence processing, we like to place them in their proper contexts within the range of possible operations that involve image sequences. In this book, we choose to classify these operations into three major categories, namely (i) image sequence processing, (ii) image sequence analysis, and (iii) visualization. The interrelationship among these three categories is pictorially described in Figure 1 below in the form of an "image sequence triangle".

Book excerpt: The processing of image sequences has a broad spectrum of important applica tions including target tracking, robot navigation, bandwidth compression of TV conferencing video signals, studying the motion of biological cells using microcinematography, cloud tracking, and highway traffic monitoring. Image sequence processing involves a large amount of data. However, because of the progress in computer, LSI, and VLSI technologies, we have now reached a stage when many useful processing tasks can be done in a reasonable amount of time. As a result, research and development activities in image sequence analysis have recently been growing at a rapid pace. An IEEE Computer Society Workshop on Computer Analysis of Time-Varying Imagery was held in Philadelphia, April 5-6, 1979. A related special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Anal ysis and Machine Intelligence was published in November 1980. The IEEE Com puter magazine has also published a special issue on the subject in 1981. The purpose of this book is to survey the field of image sequence analysis and to discuss in depth a number of important selected topics. The seven chap ters fall into two categories. Chapters 2, 3, and 7 are comprehensive surveys on, respectively, the whole field of image sequence analysis, efficient coding of image sequences, and the processing of medical image sequences. In Chapters 1, 4, 5, and 6 the authors present mainly results of their own research on, respectively, motion estimation, noise reduction in image sequences, moving object extraction, and occlusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of feature correspondences and trajectory finding for a long image sequence has received considerable attention. In this research, a coarse-to-fine algorithm is developed to obtain pixel trajectories through the sequence and to segment them into subsets corresponding to objects moving distinctly. First, a coarse-scale point-feature detector is used to detect point features that are then used to form a 3D dot pattern in the spatio-temporal region. The trajectories are extracted as 3D curves formed by the points using perceptual grouping. The set of feature points in each frame is divided into subsets corresponding to objects moving with different motion, using a measure of motion similarity between feature points. Next, increasingly dense correspondences are obtained iteratively from the initial matches for sparse point features. A Delaunay triangulation of the matched features in each frame is computed. Additional point features having higher densities are detected. The motions of these denser features are predicted based on the known motions of nearby, coarser-level features. The coarser-level features near a detected fine-level feature may belong to one or more objects with different motions. All different motions are considered, and candidate matches are computed using gray-level correlation. The relaxation algorithm is used to select the best candidate for each feature point. These finer-level correspondences can again be segmented into objects moving distinctly in the same way as was done at the coarser level. This is followed by a reiteration of the process of taking more feature points, predicting their motions, computing candidate matches, selecting the best match, and segmenting these finer-level feature points into objects moving distinctly. The coarse-to-fine level iteration is repeated until the feature detector no longer provides useful new features. Once the finest-level features are found and matched, the matching of all pixels is done using intensity correlation. Again, a pair of frames is considered for this purpose. A Delaunay triangulation is computed for the matched features at the finest level in a frame. The three vertices of a Delaunay triangle may belong to one, two, or three objects moving with different motions. All of the motions are considered for computing candidate matches for each pixel in a triangle. The relaxation algorithm is used to obtain the best match in a way similar to that used for finer-level matching. Once the pixel-level matches are available between two frames, an attempt is made to obtain the finest boundaries of the moving objects. The results of feature-point matching at the finest level are used to extend matches. Pixel-level matches are computed from the results of finest-level point-feature correspondences between a pair of frames. The batches of overlapping frames are formed and processed as described to obtain the results for an entire sequence.
