Abstract :
An algorithm is presented for extracting a moving target from the background. It combines the continuity information of the target with Bayesian decision theory to segment the video images without any a priori knowledge. Experiments with an IBM-PC computer on a large number of video images have shown that this algorithm performs better than other segmentation schemes. It can be implemented for real-time operation and is especially useful for the real-time videotheodolite (RTV)
