Abstract  

A new method for multi-target segmentation and tracking with a moving viewing system was proposed. The active contour model was used for integrating motion estimation and segmentation into a variational framework throughout the spatiotemporal domain. A global convex minimization method was applied to the spatiotemporal tracking model, overcoming the limitation of the level set method that is sensitive to the initial condition. The primal-dual algorithm was designed for the proposed model in order to improve the computation efficiency. Experimental results illustrated the validity and improvements provided by the proposed spatiotemporal tracking model.

运动场景下的时空域跟踪模型及原始-对偶算法

针对摄像机运动的情况,提出多目标分割和跟踪的新方法.利用主动轮廓模型,将运动估计和运动分割融合在同一基于时空域的能量泛函中.为了克服传统的活动轮廓模型和水平集方法存在的局部最小值问题,对时空分割模型进行凸优化,避免了初始化轮廓对分割结果的影响,保证了能量函数对分割的全局最优性.提出相应的快速原始-对偶算法,提高了计算效率.实验表明,该方法能够有效地实现运动场景下的时空域运动分割与跟踪.
