A fast and robust moving object segmentation in video sequences
Changick Kim, Jenq–Neng Hwang · 1999
The new video coding standard MPEG-4 is enabling content-based functionalities as well as high coding efficiency considering shape information of moving objects. A novel algorithm for segmentation of moving objects in video sequences and VOP (video object planes) extraction is presented. This algorithm begins with a robust double edge map from the difference between two successive frames. After removing edges which belong to previous frame, the edge map, named ME (moving edge) is used to extract VOP. The proposed algorithm is evaluated for MPEG-4 test sequences and produces promising results.
