Unit-6bThe Use of Motion in Segmentation

The document discusses two approaches to using motion in image segmentation: spatial techniques and frequency techniques. Spatial techniques compare pixels between two image frames taken at different times to detect changes, forming a difference image where pixels above a threshold are considered the result of object motion. Accumulative difference images can also be used by comparing each subsequent frame in a sequence to a reference frame to detect motion over multiple frames.

The use of Motion in segmentation

 Motion is a powerful cue used by humans and many


animals to extract objects of interest from a
background of irrelevant detail.
 In imaging applications, motion arises from relative
displacement between the sensing system and the
scene being viewed, such as in robotic applications,
autonomous navigation, and dynamic scene analysis
The use of motion in segmentation has
two approaches
 Spatial techniques
 Frequency techniques
Spatial techniques
 Basic Approach: one of the simplest approaches for
detecting changes between two image frames f(x,y,ti) and
f(x,y,tj) taken at times ti and tj, respectively is to compare
the two images pixel by pixel. The procedure for doing
this is to form a difference image.
 A difference image between two images taken at times ti
and tj may be defined as
 Dij(x,y)= 1 if |f(x,y,ti)-f(x,y,tj)|>T
 0 otherwise
 T is a specified threshold
 In the dynamic image processing, all pixels in dij(x,y) with value 1 are considered the
result of object motion.
 Accumulative differences: Consider a sequence of image frames
f(x,y,t1),f(x,y,t2),…,f(x,y,tn) and let f(x,y,t1) be the reference image.
 An Accumulative difference image (ADI) is formed by comparing this reference image
with every subsequent image in the sequence
 Consider R(x,y) as reference image which is compared with f(x,y,k)
 ADI are of threee types absolute, positive and negative ADIS.
 AK(x,y)=Ak-1(x,y)+1 if |R(x,y)-f(x,y,k)|>T
 Ak-1(x,y) otherwise
 Pk(x,y)= Pk-1(x,y)+1 if |R(x,y)-f(x,y,k)|>T
 Pk-1(x,y) otherwise
 Nk(x,y)= Nk-1(x,y)+1 if |R(x,y)-f(x,y,K)|<-T
 Nk-1(x,y) otherwise
 Ak(x,t), Pk(x,y) and Nk(x,y) are the absolute , positive and negative ADIs , respectively,
after the kth image in the sequence is encountered
