Embodiment 1

[0047] Embodiment 1: Use a depth camera (such as Microsoft's Kinect) to shoot a video to obtain an image sequence with depth information, that is, the image also has a Depth value in addition to the Color value.

[0048] Analyze and obtain the image sequence, apply the matting method of the present invention to the image sequence, and carry out according to the following steps:

[0049] (1) Calculate the tripartite map of each frame image in the image sequence;

[0050] (2) Key frame selection and video segmentation; according to the overlapping area ratio P between unknown regions between adjacent frames U Frames key . Set a keyframe Fr key,i with the next keyframe Fr key,i+1 The image sequences between are classified into the same segment Seg[Fr key,i ];

[0051] (3) Calculate the unknown region R of each frame in the video segment frame by frame U Pixel foreground, background, and transparency (F, B, α) values ​​within . The simulated annealing optimization algorithm...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a video matting method aiming at depth information. The method comprises the steps of calculating the three-parted graph of each frame image; segmenting a video to keep the frame-to-frame consistency in each video segment; obtaining the optimal foreground and transparency estimation values of each pixel in an unknown area of each frame; obtaining a global optimal solution of the pixels in all unknown areas in the video segments; finishing the matting processing of a whole segment of video. The method of the present invention is suitable for carrying out the rapid and efficient foreground object extraction on a video sequence having the frame-to-frame consistency, can keep the space-time consistency of the video matting, and enables the flicker and visual mutation to be reduced and the matting calculation efficiency to be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of image processing, in particular to a video matting method with depth information. Background technique [0002] As a technology with many uses in the field of computer vision, image extraction has always attracted the attention of scholars and enterprises, and has a large number of successful practical applications in many fields. The technology of extracting objects of interest from video image sequences is a deeper research on single image matting. Although it is in its infancy, more and more scholars have begun to devote themselves to it because of its wide application prospects. field of research. [0003] The matting process of a single frame image is to calculate the foreground pixel value F, background pixel value B and alpha transparency value of each pixel in the image, which is an under-constrained problem and the calculation is complicated. However, video keying is the keying of image sequences, and th...
