Abstract
The background subtraction algorithm is a frequently-used object segmentation technique
because of its algorithmic simplicity. However, we show that for general rotational
camera-motion, it is impractical or even impossible to use a single background image. As a
solution, we propose to use multi-sprite backgrounds which enables processing of arbitrary
rotational camera-motion. This paper describes a complete video-object segmentation
system employing multi-sprites. The system generates object masks and background
sprites that are compatible with the MPEG-4 object-oriented video-coding tools. Good
segmentation results are also obtained for sequences, which cannot be processed with
ordinary background images.
