Background subtraction is the first processing stage in video surveillance. It is a general term for a process which aims to separate foreground objects from a background. The goal is to construct and maintain a statistical representation of the scene that the camera sees. The output of background subtraction will be an input to a higher-level process. Background subtraction under dynamic environment in the video sequences is one such complex task. It is an important research topic in image analysis and computer vision domains. This work deals background modeling based on modified adaptive Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with three temporal differencing (TTD) method in dynamic environment. The results of background subtraction on several sequences in various testing environments show that the proposed method is efficient and robust for the dynamic environment and achieves good accuracy.

컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 전경을 추출하기 위한 영역 분할(segmentation) 방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 전경이 배제된 배경 영상과 현재 프레임의 차이를 이용하여 전경을 추출하는 배경 차분(background subtraction) 방법은 요구하는 계산량에 비해 우수한 품질의 전경 추출이 가능하므로 실시간 처리가 필요한 비전 시스템에 다양하게 응용되고 있다. 그러나 배경 차분 방법만을 이용하여서는 배경이 동적으로 변하는 환경에서 정확한 전경을 추출해 내지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 정적인 배경과 동적인 배경이 공존하는 환경에서 영역 분할을 효과적으로 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 정적인 배경 영역에 대해서는 기존의 배경 차분 방법을 이용하여 전경을 추출하고, 동적인 배경 영역에 대해서는 깊이 정보를 이용하여 전경을 추출하는 하이브리드 방식을 사용한다. 정적인 배경에 동적인 영상을 프로젝터로 투영하는 환경에서 제안된 방법의 효율성을 검증하였다.

In video-based recognition systems, stationary cameras are used to monitor an area of interest. These systems focus on a segmentation of the foreground in the video stream and the recognition of the events occurring in that area. The usual approach to discriminating the foreground from the video sequence is background subtraction. This paper presents a novel background subtraction method based on a probabilistic approach. We represent the posterior probability of the foreground based on the current image and all past images and derive an updated method. Furthermore, we present an efficient fusion method for the color and edge information in order to overcome the difficulties of existing background subtraction methods that use only color information. The suggested method is applied to synthetic data and real video streams, and its robust performance is demonstrated through experimentation.

본 논문에서는 배경과 객체의 색상이 유사한 상황에서 강인한 정규 상관도(Normalized Cross Correlation) 기반 다중 시점 배경 차분 기법을 제안한다. 인위적으로 배경을 구성한 경우가 아닐 경우, 다중 시점 영상의 배경 영상에서 객체로 인해 가려지게 되는 영역들은 서로 다른 색상을 가지고 있을 확률이 높다. 그러나 객체의 등장으로 인해 이러한 영역들은 서로 유사한 색상을 가지게 된다. 이에 기반하여 본 논문은 GoNCC(Graph of Normalized Cross Correlation)을 제안한다. GoNCC는 임의 시점 영상의 한 화소와 에피폴라 제약조건 관계에 있는 인접 영상 내 화소와 해당 화소와의 정규 상관도 값의 분포를 의미한다. 제안하는 다중 시점 배경 차분 기법은 현재 영상의 GoNCC와 배경 영상의 GoNCC를 비교함으로써 이루어진다. 계산량을 줄이기 위해 다중 시점 배경 차분 기법을 모든 화소에 적용하지 않고 간단한 단일 시점 배경 차분 기법으로 판단하기 어려운 영역에 대해서만 제안 방법을 수행한다. 실험 결과 단순한 단일 시점 배경 차분 기법에 비하여 매우 우수한 성능을 보였고, 기존의 다중 시점 배경 차분 기법에 비해서도 보다 정확하게 객체 영역을 검출하는 것을 확인하였다.

The segmentation of moving object in video sequence is a core technique of intelligent image processing system such as video surveillance, traffic monitoring and human tracking. A typical method to segment a moving region from the background is the background subtraction. The steps of background subtraction involve calculating a reference image, subtracting new frame from reference image and then thresholding the subtracted result. One of famous background modeling is Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Even though the method is known efficient and exact, GMM suffers from a problem that includes false pixels in ROI (region of interest), specifically shadow pixels. These false pixels cause fail of the post-processing tasks such as tracking and object recognition. This paper presents a method for removing false pixels included in ROT. First, we subdivide a ROI by using shape characteristics of detected objects. Then, a method is proposed to classify pixels from using histogram characteristic and comparing difference of energy that converts the color value of pixel into grayscale value, in order to estimate whether the pixels belong to moving object area or shadow area. The method is applied to real video sequence and the performance is verified.

배경 제거는 동영상에서 변화를 감지하는 컴퓨터 비전 및 이미지 처리의 주요 작업이다. 최상의 성능을 가지는 배경 제거 방법은 일반적인 컴퓨팅 환경에서 실시간으로 사용할 수 없을 만큼 계산량이 많다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 널리 사용되는 MOG 기반의 배경 제거 알고리즘을 이미지 크기 조정 알고리즘으로 개선했다. 제안된 이미지 크기 조정 알고리즘은 계산량을 대폭 감소시키고 지역 정보를 활용하도록 설계해 카메라 잡음에 강력하다. 제안된 알고리즘의 실험결과는 최신 배경 제거 방법에 근접하는 분류능력과 13배 이상 빠른 처리 속도를 가진다.

In this paper, a new background subtraction algorithm for video based fence monitoring surveillance systems is proposed. We adopt the sampling based background subtraction technique and focus on the two main issues: handling highly dynamic environment and handling the flickering nature of pulse based IR (infrared) lamp. Natural scenes from fence monitoring system are usually composed of several dynamic entities such as swaying trees, moving water, waves and rain. To deal with such dynamic backgrounds, we utilize the confidence factor for each background value of the input image. For the flickering IR lamp, the original sampling based technique is extended to handle double background models. Experimental results revealed that our method works well in real fence monitoring surveillance systems.

Most background subtraction methods focus on dynamic and complex scenes without considering robustness against noise. This paper proposes a background subtraction algorithm based on dictionary learning and sparse coding for handling low light conditions. The proposed method formulates background modeling as the linear and sparse combination of atoms in the dictionary. The background subtraction is considered as the difference between sparse representations of the current frame and the background model. Assuming that the projection of the noise over the dictionary is irregular and random guarantees the adaptability of the approach in large noisy scenes. Experimental results divided in simulated large noise and realistic low light conditions show the promising robustness of the proposed approach compared with other competing methods.

This paper introduces a mixture of background subtraction technique and K-Means clustering algorithm for removing shadows from video sequences. Lighting conditions cause an issue with segmentation. The proposed method can successfully eradicate artifacts associated with lighting changes such as highlight and reflection, and cast shadows of moving object from segmentation. In this paper, K-Means clustering algorithm is applied to the foreground, which is initially fragmented by background subtraction technique. The estimated shadow region is then superimposed on the background to eliminate the effects that cause redundancy in object detection. Simulation results depict that the proposed approach is capable of removing shadows and reflections from moving objects with an accuracy of more than 95% in every cases considered.

The hydroxyl radical (OH) sky emission lines arise from the Earth's mesosphere, and they serve as a major source of the sky background in the infrared. With IGRINS, the observed line strength show non-negligible variation even within a few minutes of time scale, making its subtraction difficult. Toward the aim better sky subtraction in the IGRINS pipeline, we present 1) improved identification of sky lines in H and K band and 2) improved method of subtracting sky background. Using the recent line list of Brooke et al. (2015), we have detected ~500 OH doublets from upper vibrational level between 2 and 9 and maximum upper J level of 25. In particular, we found that a significant fraction of unidentified lines reported by Oliva et al. (2015) are indeed OH lines resulting from transitions between different F levels. With the extended line identification, we present an improved method of sky subtraction. The method, based on the method of Noll et al. (2014), empirically accounts non-LTE level population of OH molecules.
