Image Computing Systems Laboratory

ICSL has been pursuing the development of segmentation and object tracking algorithms for MPEG-4 applications. We have developed a variety of algorithms as intermediate steps toward realizing the ultimate objective of semiautomatic video segmentation. Some of our developments include:

QuickSeg	Fast user-assisted segmentation
ATracker	Tracking using a deformable template model
VSnakes	Tracking for deformable objects
RAVEN	Extensible framework for developing and testing algorithms

Information about MPEG-4 is available at the ISO/IEC MPEG home page.
