Due to the clutter background motion, accurate moving object segmentation in unconstrained videos remains a significant open problem, especially for the slow-moving object. This article proposes an accurate moving object segmentation method based on robust seed selection. The seed pixels of the object and background are selected robustly by using the optical flow cues. Firstly, this article detects the moving object’s rough contour according to the local difference in the weighted orientation cues of the optical flow. Then, the detected rough contour is used to guide the object and the background seed pixel selection. The object seed pixels in the previous frame are propagated to the current frame according to the optical flow to improve the robustness of the seed selection. Finally, we adopt the random walker algorithm to segment the moving object accurately according to the selected seed pixels. Experiments on publicly available data sets indicate that the proposed method shows excellent performance in segmenting moving objects accurately in unconstraint videos.
