This paper proposes a new video sequence segmentation method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) that can improve computational efficiency. The computation is distributed into chromosomes that evolve using distributed genetic algorithms (DGAs). Each chromosome consists of a label and feature vector. The label is used as the region number for the pixel where the chromosome is located. Based on the temporal correlation between two consecutive frames in a videosequence, the segmentation of a frame is successively obtained using the segmentation result of the previous frame. In addition to eliminating redundant computation, only unstable chromosomes corresponding to moving object parts are evolved. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a segmentation method of reduced computational complexity aimed at separating the moving objects from the background in a generic videosequence. This task may be accomplished at the coder site to support the functionalities foreseen by new multimedia scenarios, and in particular the content-based functionalities focused by the MPEG-4 activity, allowing the user to access and decode single objects of a videosequence. The proposed algorithm discriminates between background and foreground by means of a higher-order statistics (HOS) significance test performed on a group of inter-frame differences, followed by a motion detection phase, producing a binary segmentation map. The HOS threshold is adaptively changed, based on the estimated background activity and on the potential presence of slowly moving objects. The map is refined by a final regularization stage implemented by means of a cascade of morphological filters. The algorithm performance were tested through the wide experimental activity carried out during the ISO MPEG-4 N2 Core Experiment on Automatic segmentation Techniques, in which the authors are currently involved. Typical results obtained on MPEG4 sequences are here shown, in order to illustrate the segmentation algorithm performance. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The new video coding standard MPEG-4 is enabling content-based functionalities. It takes advantage of a prior decomposition of sequences into video object planes (VOP's) so that each VOP represents one moving object. A comprehensive review summarizes some of the most important motion segmentation and VOP generation techniques that have been proposed. Then, a new automatic video sequence segmentation algorithm that extracts moving objects is presented. The core of this algorithm is an object tracker that matches a two-dimensional (2-D) binary model of the object against subsequent frames using the Hausdorff distance. The best match found indicates the translation the object has undergone, and the model is updated every frame to accommodate for rotation and changes in shape. The initial model is derived automatically, and a new model update method based on the concept of moving connected components allows for comparatively large changes in shape. The proposed algorithm is improved by a filtering technique that removes stationary background. Finally, the binary model sequence guides the extraction of the VOP's from the sequence. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of our algorithm.
