The proposed algorithm consists of logo detection, tracking and extraction, and removal. In the logo detection step, we automatically detect moving logos using the saliency map and the scale invariant feature transform. In the logo tracking and extraction step, an improved mean shift tracking method and backward tracking technique are used in which only logo regions are extracted by using color information. Finally, in the logo removal step, the detected logo region...
