An Improved Moving Object Detection Algorithm Based on Colour Separation
Wei Zhang, Wei Hong Xu · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
An improved background subtraction algorithm based on color separation method is improved to solve the problem of high rate of missing detection of moving targets in video surveillance. First, the algorithm implements the background subtraction of the current frame and the background frame for pixel blocks in independent RGB channels. Then the three foreground targets after denoising extracted respectively from three channels are combined by or operation to get a complete moving target. And then this algorithm removes the shadow in color model. After that the background frame from each channel is updated individually by recursive algorithm. The algorithm adopts a nonlinear way to change the learning factor for background updating. The experiments show that this improved algorithm can extract effectively foreground targets which are similar to the background’s grey level, with better accuracy and robustness.
