Multi-agent system for moving object segmentation and tracking

Video segmentation and tracking have been important and challenging issues for many video processing. A novel spatio-temporal video object segmentation and tracking algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm is based on multi-agent system and active contour technique. The multi-agent system is composed of a set of supervisor and explorator agents. The agents are communicating and inspired in their conduct from active contour technique, more precisely the “Level Sets”. We used the DIMA platform to implement this algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is more robust than previous approaches.
