This paper proposes and discusses the use of motion-oriented connected operators for sprite creation. Motion-oriented connected operators are tools allowing the simplification of frames by removing objects that do not follow a given motion. They combine features of filtering and segmentation tools. They are, however, less computationally expensive than most motion-oriented segmentation algorithms. In this paper, we show how they can be used to efficiently remove outliers with respect to the dominant motion and to create layered representation of sequences.
