A SEGMENTATION TECHNIQUE BASED ON MERGING OF

In this contribution a technique for video segmentation based on joint colour and motion information is presented. The technique entails pre- and post-processing stages in addition to clustering algorithms to define homogeneous colour patches. As far as motion detection is concerned, enhanced robustness is achieved by extended depth analysis and motion estimation reliability assessment. Final merging of colour and motion information is made by classifying the global state of motion of each colour patch
