Moving Cast Shadow Detection

چکیده
Moving shadow detection is an important topic in computer vision applications, including video conference, vehicle tracking, and three-dimensional (3-D) object identification, and has been actively investigated in recent years. Because, in real world scenes, moving cast shadows may be detected as foreground object and plauge the moving objects segmentation. For example, in traffic surveillance situation, shadows cast by moving vehicles may be segmented as part of vehicles, which not only interfere with the size and shape information but also generate occlusions (as Fig. 1 illustrates). At the same time, moving cast shadow detection can provide reference information to the understanting of the illumination in the scenes. Therefore, an effective shadow detection algorithm can greatly benefit the practical image analysis system.

Adaptive Moving Cast Shadow Detection
Moving object detection is an important task in real-time video surveillance. However, in real scenario, moving cast shadows associated with moving objects may also be detected, making moving cast shadow detection a challenge for video surveillance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive shadow detection method based on the cast shadow model. The method combines ratio edge and ratio brightness, ...
متن کاملDetection of Moving Cast Shadows for Object Segmentation
To prevent moving shadows being misclassified as moving objects or parts of moving objects, this paper presents an explicit method for detection of moving cast shadows on a dominating scene background. Those shadows are generated by objects moving between a light source and the background. Moving cast shadows cause a frame difference between two succeeding images of a monocular video image sequ...

متن کاملMoving Cast Shadow Detection Using Texture Information
In this paper, we have proposed an efficient moving cast shadow detection using texture features. Texture features are estimated using fractal dimension and is employed to discriminate between shadow region and moving foreground region. Complexity and noise reduction is achieved using wavelet transform which has not been performed before in the literature. Block-wise calculation has accelerated...
متن کاملDetection and Tracking of Moving
This paper presents a method for detection and tracking of moving cast shadows on a dominating scene background in a monocular video sequence. The method assumes moving shadows on a dominant smooth shaped background. The shadow causing light sources are assumed to be strong enough to cause visible temporal frame diierences by moving cast shadows. These diierences are detected and classiied into...
