This work uses snakes for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest, and uses scale-space continuation to enlarge the capture region surrounding a feature.

An iterative implementation is shown which successfully computes the optical flow for a number of synthetic image sequences and is robust in that it can handle image sequences that are quantized rather coarsely in space and time.

A new class of coding methods capable of achieving compression ratios as high as 70:1 is called second generation, which can be formed in this class: methods using local operators and combining their output in a suitable way and methods using contour-texture descriptions.

This contribution addresses the problem of detection and tracking of moving vehicles in image sequences from traffic scenes recorded by a stationary camera by using a parameterized vehicle model and a recursive estimator based on a motion model for motion estimation.

Object-based analysis-synthesis coding (OBASC) using the source model of ‘moving rigid 3D objects’ for the encoding of moving images at very low data rates gives almost identical image quality for the same data rate.

Image segmentation by region-contour cooperation for image coding
17 Citations2003J. Benois, Dominique Barba
The original idea of the method is the choice of growing centres which are placed on the skeleton of non-closed regions and used in split-and-merge procedure of region growing to obtain staircase closure of original contours which is easy to code.
