Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of fast segmenting moving objects in video acquired by moving camera or more generally with a moving background. We present an approach based on a color segmentation followed by a region-merging on motion through Markov Random Fields (MRFs). The technique we propose is inspired to a work of Gelgon and Bouthemy [6], that has been modified to reduce computational cost in order to achieve a fast segmentation (about ten frame per second). To this aim a modified region matching algorithm (namely Partitioned Region Matching) and an innovative arc-based MRF optimization algorithm with a suitable definition of the motion reliability are proposed. Results on both synthetic and real sequences are reported to confirm validity of our solution.
