Abstract :
We propose a generic method to interactive object segmentation in image sequences. This method consists in the extension of efficient techniques of static image segmentation to image sequences by combining them to fast motion estimation techniques. The proposed method has the following characteristics: interactivity, generality, rapid response and progressive manual edition.
