1) Video object extraction involves extracting foreground and background objects from video sequences using matting equations and constraints like trimaps and scribbles.
2) Existing matting methods require constraints for each frame, but automatic constraints can be obtained through feature matching and nonlocal matting.
3) The presented method uses SIFT to detect keypoints for automatic scribbles, then performs nonlocal matting using Laplacian transforms on the graph to smoothly label pixels and extract video objects.
