Abstract

The texture which is in motion is known as Dynamic texture. As the texture can change in shape and direction over time, Segmentation of Dynamic Texture is a challenging task. Furthermore, features of Dynamic texture like spatial (i.e., appearance) and temporal (i.e., motion) may differ from each other. However, studies are mostly limited to characterization of single dynamic textures in the current literature. In this paper, the segmentation problem of image sequences consisting of cluttered dynamic textures is addressed. For the segmentation of dynamic texture, two local texture descriptor based techniques and Lucas-Kanade optical flow technique are combined together to achieve accurate segmentation. Two texture descriptor based techniques are Local binary pattern and Weber local descriptor. These descriptors are used in spatial as well as in temporal domain and it helps to segment a frame of video into distinct regions based on the histogram of the region. Lucas-Kanade based optical flow technique is used in temporal domain, which determines direction of motion of dynamic texture in a sequence. These three features are computed for every section of individual frame and equivalent histograms are obtained. These histograms are concatenated and compared with suitable threshold to obtain segmentation of dynamic texture.
