SIMULTANEOUS FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND SEGMENTATION WITH LEVEL SET FUNCTION
Sukho Lee · Journal of the Korea Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics · 2009
In this paper, a level set based energy functional is proposed, the minimization of which results in simultaneous reference background image modeling and foreground segmentation. Due to the mutual constraint of the two processes, a good estimate of the background can be obtained with a small number of frames, and due to the use of the level set, an Euler-Lagrange equation that directly solves the problem can be derived.
