Abstract
Moving object segmentation is a fundamental function for content-based application. Moving object edges are produced by matching the detected moving edges with the current frame edges. But we can often experience the object edge disconnectedness due to coincidence of similarity between the object and background colors or the decrease of movement of moving object. The edge disconnectedness is a serious problem because it degrades the object visual quality so conspicuously That it sometimes makes it inadequate to perform content-based coding. We have solved this problem by developing a robust and comprehensive edge linking algorithm. And we also developed an automatic moving object segmentation algorithm. These algorithms can produce the completely linked moving object edge boundary and the accurate moving object segmentation. These algorithms can process CIF 30 frames/sec in a PC. These algorithms can be used for the MPEG-4 content-based coding.
