Identifying moving objects is a critical task for many computer vision applications; it provides
a classification of the pixels into either foreground or background. A common approach used …

Video segmentation assumes a major role in the context of object-based coding and
description applications. Evaluating the adequacy of a segmentation result for a given …

When working in image and video segmentation, the major objective is to design an
algorithm producing the appropriate segmentation results for the particular goals of the …

The identification of objects in video sequences, that is, video segmentation, plays a major
role in emerging interactive multimedia services, such as those enabled by the ISO MPEG …

We present results of subjective viewer assessment of video quality of MPEG-2 compressed
video containing wide-band Gaussian noise. The video test sequences consisted of seven …

This chapter provides a summary of the recent (especially since 2000) progress for the
evaluation of image and video segmentation. It is seen that much more effort has been …

Video object segmentation is a task that humans perform efficiently and effectively, but which
is difficult for a computer to perform. Since video segmentation plays an important role for …

With the advent of the MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 standards [2, 3], a further impulse to the
representation and description of multimedia information has been given. In particular …

This paper presents the results of subjective viewer assessment of the quality of MPEG-2
compressed video containing wideband Gaussian noise. The video test sequences …

Semantic Video Object Segmentation for Content-Based Multimedia Applications provides a
