ABSTRACT:
Automatic video object extraction that defines substantially precise objects is disclosed. In one embodiment, color segmentation and motion segmentation are performed on a source video. The color segmentation segments the video by substantially uniform color regions thereof. The motion segmentation segments the video by moving regions thereof. The color regions and the moving regions are then combined to define the video objects. In varying embodiments, pre-processing and post-processing is performed to further clean the source video and the video objects defined, respectively.
