BACKGROUND MODELING AND SUBTRACTION BY CODEBOOK CONSTRUCTION (original) (raw)

Real-time foreground-background segmentation using codebook model

We present a real-time algorithm for foreground-background segmentation. Sample background values at each pixel are quantized into codebooks which represent a compressed form of background model for a long image sequence. This allows us to capture structural background variation due to periodic-like motion over a long period of time under limited memory. The codebook representation is efficient in memory and speed compared with other background modeling techniques. Our method can handle scenes containing moving backgrounds or illumination variations, and it achieves robust detection for different types of videos. We compared our method with other multimode modeling techniques.

Modeling background from compressed video

2005

Background models have been widely used for video surveillance and other applications. Methods for constructing background models and associated application algorithms are mainly studied in the spatial domain (pixel level). Many video sources, however, are in a compressed format before processing. In this paper, we propose an approach to construct background models directly from compressed video. The proposed approach utilizes the information from DCT coefficients at block level to construct accurate background models at pixel level. We implemented three representative algorithms of background models in the compressed domain, and theoretically explored their properties and the relationship with their counterparts in the spatial domain. We also present some general technical improvements to make them more capable for a wide range of applications. The proposed method can achieve the same accuracy as the methods that construct background models from the spatial domain with much lower computational cost (50% on average) and more compact storages.

Online codebook modeling based background subtraction with a moving camera

2017

This paper proposes a new background subtraction method by a moving camera for the object detection. Key points are firstly extracted and tracked. From the tracking results, spatial transformation relationships for the background scenes in consecutive frames are obtained while the current frame is warped to the previous image plane for the camera movement compensation. A codebook background model is constructed and updated in an online way by exploiting the full RGB color information, which is used to distinguish the foreground/background regions. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms its counterparts with a better performance.

Efficient Background Subtraction Using Improved Multilayered Codebook

International Journal of Computer and organization Trends, 2016

Detection of moving objects in video is a highly demanding area of research for object tracking. Background subtraction is the technique used to extract the foreground for object recognition in a video. The fast background subtraction algorithms can yield optimal results in foreground detection models. Codebooks are used to store compressed information by demanding high speed processing and less memory usage. Multilayered codebook(MCB) model provides a mechanism which uses block based and pixel based codebooks for high speed background subtraction with out refining noise and smoothing of edges, so it detects the single object as the multiple objects. Improved MCB perform refining the results from MCB by employing medianfilter which is one kind of smoothing technique at the same time it reduces the noise in a video. As a result, the improved multilayered codebook model performs well against the noise and smoothing of edges compared to traditional models.

The Fifth International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT 2014), 2014

Detection of Objects in Video is a highly demanding area of research. The Background Subtraction Algorithms can yield better results in Foreground Object Detection. This work presents a Hybrid CodeBook based Background Subtraction to extract the foreground ROI from the background. Codebooks are used to store compressed information by demanding lesser memory usage and high speedy processing. This Hybrid method which uses Block-Based and Pixel-Based Codebooks provide efficient detection results; the high speed processing capability of block based background subtraction as well as high Precision Rate of pixel based background subtraction are exploited to yield an efficient Background Subtraction System. The Block stage produces a coarse foreground area, which is then refined by the Pixel stage. The system's performance is evaluated with different block sizes and with different block descriptors like 2D-DCT, FFT etc. The Experimental analysis based on statistical measurements yields precision, recall, similarity and F measure of the hybrid system as 88.74%, 91.09%, 81.66% and 89.90% respectively, and thus proves the efficiency of the novel system.

Background Modelling by Codebook Technique for Automated Video Surveillance with Shadow Removal

Background modelling is a technique used for object detection by modelling the background of a video sequence. This technique is applied for monitoring in a surveillance application purpose. The technique should be robust in detecting the object in crucial condition. The internal model should sensitive to detect all moving objects by satisfying its challenging aspects. The important aspect of background modelling are local and global illumination variation, motion changes, presence of shadows, camouflage, some changes in background geometry and high frequency. Basic principle of background modelling is background subtraction, where the motion segmentation is done. During the motion segmentation, getting accurate or correct shape of the object is one of the prime challenges. While light is occlude by object, a shadow forms. During motion segmentation, it is detected as foreground object, which is disaster of motion algorithm. In our project, we have projected a Background Modelling Technique with Shadow Removal for Automated Video Surveillance System. The Algorithm has been tested by considering different datasets. Experimental results validate the implemented algorithms.

Video background modeling: recent approaches, issues and our proposed techniques

Journal of Machine Vision and Applications, 2013

Effective and efficient background subtraction is important to a number of computer vision tasks. We introduce several new techniques to address key challenges for background modeling using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for moving objects detection in a video acquired by a static camera. The novel features of our proposed model are that it automatically learns dynamics of a scene and adapts its parameters accordingly, suppresses ghosts in the foreground mask using a SURF features matching algorithm, and introduces a new spatio-temporal filter to further refine the foreground detection results. Detection of abrupt illumination changes in the scene is dealt with by a model shifting-based scheme to reuse already learned models and spatio-temporal history of foreground blobs is used to detect and handle paused objects. The proposed model is rigorously tested and compared with several previous models and has shown significant performance improvements.

Accurate Background Modeling for Moving Object Detection in a Dynamic Scene

2010 International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications, 2010

Fast and accurate foreground detection in video sequences is the first step in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose a new method for background modeling that operates in color and gray spaces and that manages the entropy information to obtain the pixel state card. Our method is recursive and does not require a training period to handle various problems when classify pixels into either foreground or background. First, it starts by analyzing the pixel state card to build a dynamic matrix. This latter is used to selectively update background model. Secondly, our method eliminates noise and holes from the moving areas, removes uninteresting moving regions and refines the shape of foregrounds. A comparative study through quantitative and qualitative evaluations shows that our method can detect foreground efficiently and accurately in videos even in the presence of various problems including sudden and gradual illumination changes, shaking camera, background component changes, ghost, and foreground speed.

A Modified Codebook-based Background Subtraction Technique to improve Activity Classification in Highly Variable Environments

Background subtraction techniques are commonly used for moving object detection in videos to detect foreground changes under highly variable environments such as moving trees, traffic, shadows or cloud cover. The article proposes an extension to the existing background subtraction state-of-the-art by means of a modified codebook algorithm (MCB-HED). The technique exploits the ability of Euclidean distance-based RGB color representation, Hue and intensity of pixels over consecutive frames to identify foreground objects in the presence of intensity variations due to shadows and highlights.
