Video Segmentation via a Gaussian Switch Background Model and Higher Order Markov Random Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 Markov Random Field (MRF) which can model the spatial relations between the pixels of an image far better than a simple pairwise MRF used in most of the state of the art methods. Afterwards, a runtime optimized Belief Propagation algorithm is used to compute an enhanced segmentation based on this model. Lastly, a local between Class Variance method is combined with this to enrich the data from the Background Substraction. To evaluate the results the difficult Wallflower data set is used.

متن کاملSmooth Foreground-Background Segmentation for Video Processing
We propose an efficient way to account for spatial smoothness in foreground-background segmentation of video sequences. Most statistical background modeling techniques regard the pixels in an image as independent and disregard the fundamental concept of smoothness. In contrast, we model smoothness of the foreground and background with a Markov random field, in such a way that it can be globally...
