Abstract

A method (100) and system (300) is described for processing video data comprising a plurality of images. The method (100) comprising obtaining (104, 106), for each of the plurality of images, a segmentation in a plurality of regions and a set of keypoints, and tracking (108) at least one region between a first image and a subsequent image resulting in a matched region in the subsequent image taking into account a matching between keypoints in the first image and the subsequent image. The latter results in accurate tracking of regions. Furthermore the method may optionally also perform label propagation taking into account keypoint tracking.
