Abstract

The problem of accurate video layer decomposition is of vital importance in computer vision. Previous methods mainly focus on the foreground extraction. In this paper, we present a user-assisted framework to decompose videos and extract all layers, which is built on the depth information and over-segmented patches. The task is split into two stages: i) the clustering of over-segmented patches; ii) the propagation of layers along the video. Correspondingly, this paper has two contributions: i) a video decomposition method based on greedy over-segmented patches merging; ii) a layer propagation method via iteratively updating color Gaussian Mixture Models(GMM). We test this algorithm on real videos and verify that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
