  • Publication number: 20130329987
    Abstract: A system and method implemented as a software tool for foreground segmentation of video sequences in real-time, which uses two Competing 1-class Support Vector Machines (C-1SVMs) operating to separately identify background and foreground. A globalized, weighted optimizer may resolve unknown or boundary conditions following convergence of the C-1SVMs. The objective of foreground segmentation is to extract the desired foreground object from live input videos, with fuzzy boundaries captured by freely moving cameras. The present disclosure proposes the method of training and maintaining two competing classifiers, based on Competing 1-class Support Vector Machines (C-1SVMs), at each pixel location, which model local color distributions for foreground and background, respectively. By introducing novel acceleration techniques and exploiting the parallel structure of the algorithm (including reweighing and max-pooling of data), real-time processing speed is achieved for VGA-sized videos.

  • Patent number: 8320666
    Abstract: A system and method implemented as a software tool for generating alpha matte sequences in real-time for the purposes of background or foreground substitution in digital images and video. The system and method is based on a set of modified Poisson equations that are derived for handling multichannel color vectors. Greater robustness is achieved by computing an initial alpha matte in color space. Real-time processing speed is achieved through optimizing the algorithm for parallel processing on the GPUs. For online video matting, a modified background cut algorithm is implemented to separate foreground and background, which guides the automatic trimap generation. Quantitative evaluation on still images shows that the alpha mattes extracted using the present invention has improved accuracy over existing state-of-the-art offline image matting techniques.
