    Abstract: A semantic object tracking method tracks general semantic objects with multiple non-rigid motion, disconnected components and multiple colors throughout a vector image sequence. The method accurately tracks these general semantic objects by spatially segmenting image regions from a current frame and then classifying these regions as to which semantic object they originated from in the previous frame. To classify each region, the method performs a region based motion estimation between each spatially segmented region and the previous frame to compute the position of a predicted region in the previous frame. The method then classifies each region in the current frame as being part of a semantic object based on which semantic object in the previous frame contains the most overlapping points of the predicted region. Using this method, each region in the current image is tracked to one semantic object from the previous frame, with no gaps or overlaps. The method propagates few or no errors because it projects regions into a frame where the semantic object boundaries are previously computed rather than trying to project and adjust a boundary in a frame where the object's boundary is unknown.

    Abstract: A semantic video object extraction system using mathematical morphology and perspective motion modeling. A user indicates a rough outline around an image feature of interest for a first frame in a video sequence. Without further user assistance, the rough outline is processed by a morphological segmentation tool to snap the rough outline into a precise boundary surrounding the image feature. Motion modeling is performed on the image feature to track its movement into a subsequent video frame. The motion model is applied to the precise boundary to warp the precise outline into a new rough outline for the image feature in the subsequent video frame. This new rough outline is then snapped to locate a new precise boundary. Automatic processing is repeated for subsequent video frames.

    Abstract: Various examples are disclosed herein that relate to staged element classification. For example, one disclosed example provides a method of classifying elements by forming elements for classification into a plurality of first-level sets in a first stage, generating primary groups within the first-level sets based on element similarity, forming a plurality of second-level sets from the first-level sets in a second stage, generating secondary groups within the second-level sets based on element similarity, and merging a plurality of the primary and/or secondary groups based on element similarity.

    Abstract: Homogeneous moving objects of arbitrary shapes are segmented and tracked with respect to the motion of the objects. In an intraframe mode of operation, a segmentation method includes obtaining a motion representation of corresponding pixels in the selected video image frame and a preceding video image frame to form motion-segmented video image features. Video image features are also segmented according to their spatial image characteristics (e.g., color) to form spatially-segmented video image features. Finally, the video image features are jointly segmented as a weighted combination of the motion-segmented video image features and the spatially-segmented video image features. The joint motion and spatial segmentation of image features provides enhanced accuracy in representing moving image features. This enhanced accuracy is particularly beneficial because the motion of image features is a significant display characteristic for human observers.

    Abstract: A video encoder uses previously calculated motion information for inter frame coding to achieve faster computation speed for video compression. In a multi bit rate application, motion information produced by motion estimation for inter frame coding of a compressed video bit stream at one bit rate is passed on to a subsequent encoding of the video at a lower bit rate. The video encoder chooses to use the previously calculated motion information for inter frame coding at the lower bit rate if the video resolution is unchanged. A multi core motion information pre-calculation produces motion information prior to encoding by dividing motion estimation of each inter frame to separate CPU cores.
