Probabilistic Hierarchical Framework for Clustering of Tracked Objects in Video Streams

Abstract

Currently it is impossible to automatically achieve high level video indexing as suggested for instance by MPEG-7. Part of the problem is the identification of moving objects in the framework of a video. It represents such a challenging problem due to the variable appearance of objects over time. This paper studies how to automatically classify tracked objects in a video based on estimated Gaussian mixture density functions of each tracked object. In the color feature space, the variability of each tracked object is modeled separately by an Gaussian mixture where the appropriate number of Gaussians is determined by the Integrated Classification Likelihood criterion. Then, the Ascendant Hierarchical Classification technique is used to identify the clusters of tracked objects. Thus, the problem is different to conventionnal classification in that the underlying measurements are not feature vectors but density estimates. The proposed framework is evaluated on the Avengers TV movie, segmented into 2749 individual objects of seven different clusters.
