One embodiment relates to a computer-implemented method for the automated extraction of objects from a video stream. The method includes an automated procedure for creating a temporal graph, and an automated procedure for cutting the graph into graph partitions. The method further includes an automated procedure for mapping the graph partitions to pixels in frames of the video stream. Other features, aspects and embodiments are also disclosed.
摘要:
An automated method for classifying an object in a sequence of video frames. The object is tracked in multiple frames of the sequence of video frame, and feature descriptors are determined for the object for each of the multiple frames. Multiple classification scores are computed by matching said feature descriptors for the object for each of the multiple frames with feature descriptors for a candidate class in a classification database. Said multiple classification scores are aggregated to generate an estimated probability that the object is a member of the candidate class. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.

One embodiment relates to a computer-implemented method of image segmentation using automated saddle point detection. An edge map is created by edge detection, and a distance map is generated based on the edge map. Saddle points are detected using the distance map. Connector pixels are determined using the saddle points, and connector pixels forming valid connecting paths are marked as edge pixels. Finally, flood filling is performed within edges to designate image segments. Other features, aspects and embodiments are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method for automated content insertion into a video sequence. The video sequence comprising a sequence of frames is received. An automated determination is made of non-moving pixels in the sequence of frames. Thereafter, an automated identification is made of valid regions comprising the non-moving pixels which are suitable for unobtrusive content insertion. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
摘要:
One embodiment relates to an automated method for estimating motion of an image segment. An image frame is segmented into irregularly-shaped image segments. Motion vectors of blocks of pixels in the image frame are estimated. A determination is made as to the blocks which overlap a segment, and candidate motion vectors are determined from the motion vectors for those overlapping blocks. A motion vector for the segment is selected from amongst the candidate motion vectors. Other embodiments, aspects, and features are also disclosed.
