Color-based video segmentation using interlinked irregular pyramids

摘要

This paper presents a new segmentation technique for video sequences. It relies on building irregular pyramids based on its homogeneity over consecutive frames. Pyramids are interlinked to keep a relationship between the regions in the frames. Virtual nodes are considered to improve matching between low resolution levels of the pyramids. Its performance is good in real-world conditions because it does not depend on image constrains.
