A Multiscale Region-Based Motion Detection and Background Subtraction Algorithm
This paper presents a region-based method for background subtraction. It relies on color histograms, texture information, and successive division of candidate rectangular image regions to model the background and detect motion. Our proposed algorithm uses this principle and combines it with Gaussian Mixture background modeling to produce a new method which outperforms the classic Gaussian Mixture background subtraction method. Our method has the advantages of filtering noise during image differentiation and providing a selectable level of detail for the contour of the moving shapes. The algorithm is tested on various video sequences and is shown to outperform state-of-the-art background subtraction methods
Survey of Object Detection Methods in Camouflaged Image
Camouflage is an attempt to conceal the signature of a target object into the background image. Camouflage detection
methods or Decamouflaging method is basically used to detect foreground object hidden in the background image. In this
research paper authors presented survey of camouflage detection methods for different applications and areas
A fully-convolutional neural network for background subtraction of unseen videos
Background subtraction is a basic task in computer vision
and video processing often applied as a pre-processing step
for object tracking, people recognition, etc. Recently, a number of successful background-subtraction algorithms have
been proposed, however nearly all of the top-performing
ones are supervised. Crucially, their success relies upon
the availability of some annotated frames of the test video
during training. Consequently, their performance on completely “unseen” videos is undocumented in the literature.
In this work, we propose a new, supervised, backgroundsubtraction algorithm for unseen videos (BSUV-Net) based
on a fully-convolutional neural network. The input to our
network consists of the current frame and two background
frames captured at different time scales along with their semantic segmentation maps. In order to reduce the chance
of overfitting, we also introduce a new data-augmentation
technique which mitigates the impact of illumination difference between the background frames and the current frame.
On the CDNet-2014 dataset, BSUV-Net outperforms stateof-the-art algorithms evaluated on unseen videos in terms of
several metrics including F-measure, recall and precision.Accepted manuscrip

Background subtraction based on Local Shape
We present a novel approach to background subtraction that is based on the
local shape of small image regions. In our approach, an image region centered
on a pixel is mod-eled using the local self-similarity descriptor. We aim at
obtaining a reliable change detection based on local shape change in an image
when foreground objects are moving. The method first builds a background model
and compares the local self-similarities between the background model and the
subsequent frames to distinguish background and foreground objects.
Post-processing is then used to refine the boundaries of moving objects.
Results show that this approach is promising as the foregrounds obtained are
com-plete, although they often include shadows.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, 3 tabl
Segmenting Foreground Objects from a Dynamic Textured Background via a Robust Kalman Filter
The algorithm presented in this paper aims to segment the foreground objects in video (e.g., people) given time-varying, textured backgrounds. Examples of time-varying backgrounds include waves on water, clouds moving, trees waving in the wind, automobile traffic, moving crowds, escalators, etc. We have developed a novel foreground-background segmentation algorithm that explicitly accounts for the non-stationary nature and clutter-like appearance of many dynamic textures. The dynamic texture is modeled by an Autoregressive Moving Average Model (ARMA). A robust Kalman filter algorithm iteratively estimates the intrinsic appearance of the dynamic texture, as well as the regions of the foreground objects. Preliminary experiments with this method have demonstrated promising results
