• Abstract summary: We present an unsupervised approach for segmenting moving objects in videos downgraded by atmospheric turbulence. We first identify a small set of moving object pixels with high confidence, then gradually grow a foreground mask from those seeds to segment all moving objects. Results show that our method achieves good accuracy in segmenting moving objects and is robust for long-range videos with various turbulence strengths.

• Abstract: Moving object segmentation in the presence of atmospheric turbulence is highly challenging due to turbulence-induced irregular and time-varying distortions. In this paper, we present an unsupervised approach for segmenting moving objects in videos downgraded by atmospheric turbulence. Our key approach is a detect-then-grow scheme: we first identify a small set of moving object pixels with high confidence, then gradually grow a foreground mask from those seeds to segment all moving objects. This method leverages rigid geometric consistency among video frames to disentangle different types of motions, and then uses the Sampson distance to initialize the seedling pixels. After growing per-frame foreground masks, we use spatial grouping loss and temporal consistency loss to further refine the masks in order to ensure their spatio-temporal consistency. Our method is unsupervised and does not require training on labeled data. For validation, we collect and release the first real-captured long-range turbulent video dataset with ground truth masks for moving objects. Results show that our method achieves good accuracy in segmenting moving objects and is robust for long-range videos with various turbulence strengths.

  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.
