Abstract

This contribution presents a statistical method for segmentation and tracking of moving regions from the compressed videos. This technique is particularly efficient to analyse and track motion segments from the compression-oriented motion fields by using the Bayesian estimation framework. For each motion field, the algorithm initialises a partition that is subject to comparisons and associations with its tracking counterpart. Due to potential hypothesis incompatibility, the algorithm applies a conflict resolution technique to ensure that the partition inherits relevant characteristics from both hypotheses as far as possible. Each tracked region is further classified as a background or a foreground object based on an approximation of the logical mass, momentum, and impulse. The experiment has demonstrated promising results based on standard test sequences.
