چکیده

In this paper, common colour models for background subtraction and problems related to their utilisation are discussed. A novel approach to represent chrominance information more suitable for robust background modelling and shadow suppression is proposed. Our method relies on the ability to represent colours in terms of a 3D-polar coordinate system having saturation independent of the brightness function; specifically, we build upon an Improved Hue, Luminance, and Saturation space (IHLS). The additional peculiarity of the approach is that we deal with the problem of unstable hue values at low saturation by modelling the hue-saturation relationship using saturation-weighted hue statistics. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown in an experimental comparison with approaches based on RGB, Normalised RGB and HSV.

Shadow Detection based on Colour Segmentation and Estimated Illumination

In this paper we show how to improve the detection of shadows in natural scenes using a novel combination of colour and illumination features. Detecting shadows is useful because they provide information about both light sources and the shapes of objects thereby illuminated. Recent shadow detection methods use supervised machine learning techniques with input from colour and texture features ex...

An Adaptive Visual System for Tracking Low Resolution Colour Targets

This paper addresses the problem of using appearance and motion models in classifying and tracking objects when detailed information of the object’s appearance is not available. The approach relies upon motion, shape cues and colour information to help in associating objects temporally within a video stream. Unlike previous applications of colour in object tracking, where relatively large-size ...

Improving Vehicle Detection Accuracy Based on Vehicle Shadow and Superposition Elimination

Vehicle shadow and superposition have a great influence on the accuracy of vehicles detection in traffic video. Many background models have been proposed and improved to deal with detection moving object. This paper presented a method which improves Gaussian mixture model to get adaptive background. The HSV color space was used to eliminate vehicle shadow, it was based on a computational colour...
