A Motion Edge Closing Method of Motion Edge Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

We proposed a motion edge detection method in our previous work. However, the edge of the moving object detected from the image sequence is always unclosed. In this paper, we propose a method of a hybrid field snake to close the edge of the object. The initial curve of the snake is rectangle, so that the curve can be used in the tracking and recognition applications, but its corners always locate out of the GVF field. The hybrid field snake method is proposed to solve this problem. Some experiments are performed at the last part of this paper to test our method, and the results are satisfactory.
