Combining Intensity and Motion for Incremental Segmentation and Tracking over Long Image Sequences

Abstract

This paper presents a method for incrementally segmenting images over time using both intensity and motion information. This is done by formulating a model of physically significant image resgions using local constraints on intensity and motion and then finding the optimal segmentation over time using an incremental stochastic minimization technique. The result is a robust and dynamic segmentation of the scene over a sequence of images. The approach has a number of benefits. First, discontinuities are extracted and tracked simultaneously. Second, a segmentation is always available and it improves over time. Finally, by combining motion and intensity, the structural properties of discontinuities can be recovered; that is, discontinuities can be classified as surface markings or actual surface boundaries .
