Abstract

In this letter, to determine how mathematical morphology operators can be best used to enhance the accuracy of background subtraction for "soccer videos", we conducted an experimental comparative study. We investigated six different mathematical morphology operators under the same experimental setup. We found that the closing by reconstruction-opening by reconstruction is optimal through the experiments using the F-measure. We believe that this comprehensive comparative study serves as a reference point and guide for developers and practitioners in choosing an appropriate mathematical morphology operator adopted for building intelligent soccer video analysis systems.
