Multi-Cue Structure Preserving MRF for Unconstrained Video Segmentation
Video segmentation is a stepping stone to understanding video context. Video
segmentation enables one to represent a video by decomposing it into coherent
regions which comprise whole or parts of objects. However, the challenge
originates from the fact that most of the video segmentation algorithms are
based on unsupervised learning due to expensive cost of pixelwise video
annotation and intra-class variability within similar unconstrained video
classes. We propose a Markov Random Field model for unconstrained video
segmentation that relies on tight integration of multiple cues: vertices are
defined from contour based superpixels, unary potentials from temporal smooth
label likelihood and pairwise potentials from global structure of a video.
Multi-cue structure is a breakthrough to extracting coherent object regions for
unconstrained videos in absence of supervision. Our experiments on VSB100
dataset show that the proposed model significantly outperforms competing
state-of-the-art algorithms. Qualitative analysis illustrates that video
segmentation result of the proposed model is consistent with human perception
of objects
