N2 - This paper proposes a road region extraction method based on the motion information of foreground objects and seeded region growing (SRG) algorithm. By learning on a training set of a scene over a period of time, we get the trajectory of moving object, then use SRG algorithm in which the trajectory is used as seed to extract road region. As a result, instead of detecting foreground objects in a conventional pixel by pixel manner, detection can be mainly performed on or near the pixels of road region so as to facilitate and accelerate foreground detection. In addition, the regions outside road region most of the time do not need to be transmitted in visual communication. Experimental results represent the accuracy and usefulness of our proposed method.
