Abstract:
Intensity information is a strong cue for segmentation but on its
own cannot be used to distinguish between accidental and
non-accidental alignments in a scene, thus resulting in incorrect
segmentations. However, motion information can be used to
distinguish between accidental and non-accidental alignments. In
this paper an integrated method using both intensity and motion
information for the segmentation and tracking of objects in a
sequence is presented. The method is based on an extension to
active contours (snakes) called spiders.
