abstract: |
This paper proposes a new approach for tracking
the contour of moving object for head-shoulder video
sequence using initial shape model. First, we can utilize
manual process or some segmentation approach to
obtain the initial shape model. Then, we detect the
changing ratio of intensity outside the bounding box in
background area. And, the OR operation is employed to
obtain a combined shape which is composed of initial
shape model and mesh-based temporal segmentation
result by motion activity. Finally, we propose a new
iterative pixel-based erosion algorithm for obtaining
exact object shape using local gradient along the
boundary of combined shape in a counting window. |
