In mobile robotic applications, visual information needs to be processed fast despite resource limitations of the mobile system. Here a novel real-time framework for model-free spatio-temporal segmentation of stereo videos is presented. It combines real-time optical flow and stereo with image segmentation and runs on a portable system with an integrated mobile GPU. The system performs on-line, automatic and dense segmentation of stereo videos and serves as a visual front-end for preprocessing in mobile robots, providing a condensed representation of the scene which can potentially be utilized in various applications, e.g., object manipulation, manipulation recognition, visual servoing. The method was tested on real-world sequences with arbitrary motions including videos acquired with a moving camera. ; The work has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 (Specific Programme Cooperation, Theme 3, Information and Communication Technologies) under grant agreement no. 269959, IntellAct.
