Foreground-background segmentation in videos is an important low-level task needed for many different applications in computer vision. Therefore, a great variety of different algorithms have been proposed to deal with this problem, however none can deliver satisfactory results in all circumstances. Our approach combines an efficent novel Background Substraction algorithm with a higher order Mar...
