Intelligent Rotoscoping: A Semi-Automated Interactive Boundary Tracking Approach to Video Segmentation
<p>Video segmentation is an application of computer vision aimed at automating the extraction of an object from a series of video frames. However, it is a difficult problem, especially to compute at real-time, interactive rates. Although general application to video is difficult because of the wide …
