VOGUE Tutorial

This tutorial will guide you through the main functionalities of VOGUE as a tool for Video Object Generation. For that you will need the screen cam player of lotus. Just go along reading and click on the links. This will show a demonstration on how to execute the described functionality.

Introduction

Three main automatic and semi-automatic tools are provided by VOGUE. With the spatial segmentation module, you can interactively segment still images. Once a mask corresponding to the object of interest has been created for a given image, it can be tracked throughout the video sequence using the object tracking module. When you are mainly interested in moving objects, the temporal segmentation module automatically detects them. Although an initial mask is not needed to carry out temporal segmentation, its use is optional and can improve the results. The automatic execution of both tracking and temporal segmentation algorithms may be stopped at any given time for interactive correction.

Tutorial

Load a video sequence.
Spatial segmentation.: STEP 1: Produce an initial partition. This can be done in two ways Introducing markers; STEP 2: Re-segment or merge regions.; STEP 3: Contour adjustment.; STEP 4: Manual refinement.; STEP 5: Set background.
Tracking the initial mask.: Setting parameters.; Start the automatic execution.; Modifications during execution.
Temporal segmentation.: Setting parameters.; Start the automatic execution.; Modifications during execution.
Save the results.
