Object mosaicking: Reconstruction of moving objects captured through a limited view

There had been significant research on background mosaic or sprite generation in the past. In some application domains such as surveillance, the complete view of an object might be of interest rather than the background scene. In this paper, we present object mosaicking for reconstruction of a moving object from its partial views due to limited view or object occlusion. Object mosaicking may play important role in identification and tracking of objects and face recognition. Our algorithm has three steps: automatic rectangular boundary detection, elimination of static temporal texture, and application of mosaic generation algorithms with varying blending methods. We have applied our object mosaicking on three sets of video objects and obtained promising results for object mosaicking.
