The invention, which belongs to the technical field of
image processing, discloses a video segmentation method based on strong target constraint video saliency. According to the method disclosed by the invention, strong target constraint is introduced based on image saliency. The location and scale constraint of a target are obtained by a multi-scale tracking
algorithm and
optical flow correction,color constraint information of the target is obtained based on a historical frame segmentation result, and calculation is carried out obtain a video saliency result;
histogram classification is carried out on the video saliency result to obtain a tag
mask graph, and foreground / background
prior probability models of a current frame are calculated; a super-pixel-based time-space continuum full connection condition random field model is constructed at the current frame, data items are defined by using the
prior probability models, an intra-frame smooth item and an inter-frame smooth item are defined by combining color distances, space distances and edge relationships between super pixels, and optimized solution is carried out by using a fast high-dimensional
Gaussian filter algorithm to complete video target segmentation. Therefore, the accuracy and the
time efficiency of video segmentation are improved.
