Abstract
A method for processing video data comprising a plurality of image frames, the method comprising: obtaining a forward model and a backward model of the plurality of image frames; processing the forward model and the backward model to propagate at least one label in the region or patch to at least one other image frame of the video sequence, using a probabilistic method for estimating the label in the at least one other image frame in forward and backward correspondences, wherein, during the processing, a pixel having a most likely label with a probability lower than a threshold value is assigned a predetermined generic label; and generating a labelled result for any given image frame by applying an image label difference, based on label uncertainty between the forward and backward correspondences, to the given image frame.
