Geometric partitioning has attracted increasing attention by its remarkable motion field description capability in the hybrid video coding framework. However, the existing geometric partitioning (GEO) scheme in Versatile Video Coding (VVC) causes a non-negligible burden for signaling the side information. Consequently, the coding efficiency is limited. In view of this, we propose a spatio-temporal correlation guided geometric partitioning (STGEO) scheme to efficiently describe the object information in the motion field of video coding.

Most existing trackers use bounding boxes for object tracking. However, the background contained in the bounding box inevitably decreases the accuracy of the target model, which affects the performance of the tracker and is particularly pronounced for non-rigid objects. To address the above issue, this paper proposes a novel hybrid level set model, which can robustly address the issue of topology changing, occlusions and abrupt motion in non-rigid object tracking by accurately tracking the object contour. 

Multi-view clustering aims at simultaneously obtaining a consensus underlying subspace across multiple views and conducting clustering on the learned consensus subspace, which has gained a variety of interest in image processing. In this paper, we propose the Semi-supervised Structured Subspace Learning algorithm for clustering data points from Multiple sources (SSSL-M). We explicitly extend the traditional multi-view clustering with a semi-supervised manner and then build an anti-block-diagonal indicator matrix with small amount of supervisory information to pursue the block-diagonal structure of the shared affinity matrix.
