Abstract

See full text

Embodiments are provided for achieving multi-view video foreground-background segmentation with spatial-temporal graph cuts. A multi-view segmentation algorithm is used where a four-dimensional (4D) graph-cut is constructed by adding links across neighboring views over space and for consecutive frames over time. The segmentation uses both the color values of each input image and the image difference between the input image and the background image to obtain an initial graph-cut, before adding the temporal and spatial links. By using the background subtraction results as the initial segmentation seed, no user annotation is needed to perform multi-view segmentation.
