Interactive contour deformation of moving object using graph cut

This paper deals with tracking of object with assistance by interactive deformation contour using Graph cut method. The method is used for the segmentation of tracked object on individual video frames. At the beginning of this method, user interactively defines object destined for tracking by defining its contour. The initialization of Graph cut method by determining of terminals of the object and background are determined automatically from initialization contour specified by the user at the first frame. This method can using as the initialization contours on the next frames the cuts from Graph cut method at previous frame. This paper presents experimental validation of the method for interactive deformation of contour for segmentation and tracking of moving objects.
