ABSTRACT
Video object cutout aims to extract homogenous objects from background in a video clip, which is a key process in many video processing fields, such as video compositing, video stylized rendering and so on. In this paper, we present a novel video cutout method by matching hierarchical structure of video frames. We first segment each frame by mean shift and construct hierarchical structure as a tree in preprocess stage. We then require user's interaction to label objects in a key frame. We further model video segmentation as matching hierarchical structure of frame and proposed an inter-frame matching algorithm. Experimental results show that our method can achieve desirable video segmentation results.

Interactive video cutout
We present an interactive system for efficiently extracting foreground objects from a video. We extend previous min-cut based image segmentation techniques to the domain of video with four new contributions. We provide a novel painting-based user ...
Discontinuity-aware video object cutout
Existing video object cutout systems can only deal with limited cases. They usually require detailed user interactions to segment real-life videos, which often suffer from both inseparable statistics (similar appearance between foreground and background)...
Video object cut and paste
In this paper, we present a system for cutting a moving object out from a video clip. The cutout object sequence can be pasted onto another video or a background image. To achieve this, we first apply a new 3D graph cut based segmentation approach on ...
