Abstract

In this paper we present extensions to Maximally Stable Extremal Regions that incorporate color information. Our extended interest region detector produces regions that are robust with respect to illumination, background, JPEG compression, and other common sources of image noise. The algorithm can be implemented on a distributed system to run at the same speed as the MSER algorithm. Our methods are compared against a standard MSER base-line. Our approach gives comparable or improved results when tested in various scenarios from the CAVIAR standard data set for object tracking.
