• Abstract summary: We present a two-stage unsupervised object segmentation network tailored for dynamic scenes affected by atmospheric turbulence. In the first stage, we utilize averaged optical flow from turbulence-distorted image sequences to craft preliminary masks for each moving object. We release the first moving object segmentation dataset of turbulence-affected videos, complete with manually annotated ground truth masks.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a two-stage unsupervised foreground object segmentation network tailored for dynamic scenes affected by atmospheric turbulence. In the first stage, we utilize averaged optical flow from turbulence-distorted image sequences to feed a novel region-growing algorithm, crafting preliminary masks for each moving object in the video. In the second stage, we employ a U-Net architecture with consistency and grouping losses to further refine these masks optimizing their spatio-temporal alignment. Our approach does not require labeled training data and works across varied turbulence strengths for long-range video. Furthermore, we release the first moving object segmentation dataset of turbulence-affected videos, complete with manually annotated ground truth masks. Our method, evaluated on this new dataset, demonstrates superior segmentation accuracy and robustness as compared to current state-of-the-art unsupervised methods.

  Moving object segmentation plays a crucial role in understanding dynamic scenes involving multiple moving objects. Previous methods encounter difficulties in distinguishing whether pixel displacements of an object are caused by camera motion or object motion. Recent advances exploit the motion sensitivity of novel event cameras to counter conventional images' inadequate motion modeling capabilities. We propose the first instance-level moving object segmentation framework that integrates complementary texture and motion cues.

  Lester is a novel method to automatically synthetise retro-style 2D animations from videos. Video frames are processed with the Segment Anything Model (SAM) and the resulting masks are tracked through subsequent frames with DeAOT. Results show that the method exhibits an excellent temporal consistency and can correctly process videos with different poses and appearances.
