Abstract

Existing video segmentation methods struggle to work accurately on production images. In particular, methods that rely on colour analysis can suffer when object and background colour ranges are similar. We extend one state of the art method by incorporating motion information from video frames. When tested on a variety of production footage, our new method shows significantly improved results.
