Fusing Complementary Operators to Enhance Foreground/Background Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Foreground/background segmentation is an active research area for moving object analysis. We combine two probabilistic approaches one of which estimates foreground/background probabilistic density and the other uses prior knowledge to decompose the colour space. The observed performance advantages are associated with the fusion of operators with completely different basis. Tests on outdoor and indoor sequences confirm the efficacy of this approach. The new algorithms can successfully identify and remove shadows and highlights with improved moving-object segmentation. A particular advantage of our evaluation is that it is the first approach that compares foreground/background labelling with results obtained from labelling by broadcast techniques.

Object segmentation under varying illumination: stochastic background model considering spatial locality
We propose a new method for background modeling. Our method is based on the two complementary approaches. One uses the probability density function (PDF) to approximate background model. The PDF is estimated non-parametrically by using Parzen density estimation. Then, foreground object is detected based on the estimated PDF. The method is based on the evaluation of the local texture at pixel-le...

متن کاملEnhancement of Learning Based Image Matting Method with Different Background/Foreground Weights
The problem of accurate foreground estimation in images is called Image Matting. In image matting methods, a map is used as learning data, which is produced by those pixels that are definitely foreground, definitely background ,and unknown. This three-level pixel map is often referred to as a trimap, which is produced manually in alpha matte datasets. The true class of unknown pixels will be es...
