abstract = {Most image segmentation algorithms in the past are based on optimizing an objective function that aims to achieve the similarity between several low-level features to build a partition of the image into homogeneous regions. In the present paper, we propose to incorporate the relevance (selection) of the grouping features to enforce the segmentation toward the capturing of objects of interest. The relevance of the features is determined through a set of positive and negative examples of a specific object defined a priori by the user. The calculation of the relevance of the features is performed by maximizing an objective function defined on the mixture likelihoods of the positive and negative object examples sets. The incorporation of the features relevance in the object segmentation is formulated through an energy functional which is minimized by using level set active contours. We show the efficiency of the approach on several examples of object of interest segmentation and tracking where the features relevance was used. © 2007 IEEE.},

abstract = {In this paper, we propose a novel object tracking algorithm in video sequences. The method is based on object mixture matching between successive frames of the sequence by using active contours. Only the segmentation of the objects in the first frame is required for initialization. The evolution of the object contour on a current frame aims to find the maximum fidelity of the mixture likelihood for the same object between successive frames while having the best fit of the mixture parameters to the homogenous parts of the objects. To permit for a precise and robust tracking, region, boundary and shape information are coupled in the model. The method permits for tracking multi-class objects on cluttered and non-static backgrounds. We validate our approach on examples of tracking performed on real video sequences. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group.},
