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.

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.

Foreground segmentation methods have steadily been researched in the field of computer vision. Especially, background subtraction which extracts a foreground image from the difference between the current frame and a reference image, called as "background image" have been widely used for a variety of real-time applications because of low computation and high-quality. However, if the background scene was dynamically changed, the background subtraction causes lots of errors. In this paper, we propose an efficient background subtraction method in dynamic environment with both static and dynamic scene. The proposed method is a hybrid method that uses the conventional background subtraction for static scene and depth information for dynamic scene. Its validity and efficiency are verified by demonstration in dynamic environment, where a video projector projects various images in the background.

Foreground/background segmentation in video sequences is often one of the first tasks in machine vision applications, making it a critical part of the system. In this paper, we present an improved sample-based technique that provides robust background image as well as segmentation mask. The conventional multiple interval sampling (MIS) algorithm have suffer from the unbalance of computation time per frame and the rapid change of confidence factor of background pixel. To balance the computation amount, a random-based pixel update scheme is proposed and a spatial and temporal smoothing technique is adopted to increase reliability of the confidence factor. The proposed method allows the sampling queue to have more dispersed data in time and space, and provides more continuous and reliable confidence factor. Experimental results revealed that our method works well to estimate stable background image and the foreground mask.

Automatic segmentation of foreground from background in video sequences has attracted lots of attention in computer vision. This paper proposes a novel framework for the background subtraction that the foreground is segmented from the background by directly subtracting a background image from each frame. Most previous works focus on the extraction of more reliable seeds with threshold, because the errors are occurred by noise, weak color difference and so on. Our method has good segmentations from the approximate seeds by using the Random Walks with Restart (RWR). Experimental results with live videos demonstrate the relevance and accuracy of our algorithm.

A developed skill of an intelligent CCTV is also advancing by using its Image Acquisition Device. In this field, area for technique can be divided into Foreground Subtraction which detects individuals and objects in a potential observing area and a tracing technology which figures out moving route of individuals and objects. In this thesis, an improved algorism for a settled engine development, which is stable to change in both noise and illumination for detecting moving objects is suggested. The proposed algorism from this thesis is focused on designing a stable and real time processing method which is perfect model in detecting individuals, animals, and also low-speeding transports and catching a change in an illumination and noise.

Motion segmentation is a fundamental technique for analysing image sequences of real scenes. A process of identifying moving objects from data is a typical task in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose motion segmentation that generally consists from background subtraction and foreground pixel segmentation. The Approximated Median Filter (AMF) was chosen to perform background modeling. Motion segmentation in this paper covers RGB video data.

We present a new method of extracting foreground object from background image for vision-based game interface. Background Subtraction is an important preprocessing step for extracting the features of tracking objects. The image is divided into the cells where the Local Histogram with Gaussian kernel is computed and compared with the corresponding one using Bhattacharyya distance measure. The histogram-based method is partially robust against illumination change, noise and small moving objects in background. We propose a Multi-Scaled Integral Histogram approach for noise suppression and fast computation.
