Dynamic Spatial Predicted Background for Video Surveillance
Yaniv Tocker, Rami R. Hagege, Joseph M. Francos · 2019
Video foreground-background separation is considered as a basic step for many computer vision applications. Common approaches excel in handling background variances while trying to keep the computational load low. We propose a novel method that models the scene as a superposition of illumination effects while predicting each pixel's value with a linear estimator comprised by a few other pixels of the scene. By doing so, we are able to achieve real-time performance using minimal hardware, which is a crucial consideration for embedding such a system on surveillance cameras. Experimental results on two common datasets show our method's potential by comparing it to state-of-the-art methods.
