In this paper, we propose an accurate and robust video segmentation method. The main contributions are threefold: (1) multiple cues (appearance and shape) are explicitly used and adaptively combined to determine segment probability; (2) motion is implicitly used to compute the shape cue; and (3) the segment labeling is improved by utilizing geodesic graph cuts. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2016 Society for Imaging Science and Technology.
