    CVABS: Moving Object Segmentation with Common Vector Approach for Videos

    Full text link
    Background modelling is a fundamental step for several real-time computer vision applications that requires security systems and monitoring. An accurate background model helps detecting activity of moving objects in the video. In this work, we have developed a new subspace based background modelling algorithm using the concept of Common Vector Approach with Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization. Once the background model that involves the common characteristic of different views corresponding to the same scene is acquired, a smart foreground detection and background updating procedure is applied based on dynamic control parameters. A variety of experiments is conducted on different problem types related to dynamic backgrounds. Several types of metrics are utilized as objective measures and the obtained visual results are judged subjectively. It was observed that the proposed method stands successfully for all problem types reported on CDNet2014 dataset by updating the background frames with a self-learning feedback mechanism.Comment: 12 Pages, 4 Figures, 1 Tabl

    This paper presents a novel unsupervised probabilistic model estimation of visual background in video sequences using a variational autoencoder framework. Due to the redundant nature of the backgrounds in surveillance videos, visual information of the background can be compressed into a low-dimensional subspace in the encoder part of the variational autoencoder, while the highly variant information of its moving foreground gets filtered throughout its encoding-decoding process. Our deep probabilistic background model (DeepPBM) estimation approach is enabled by the power of deep neural networks in learning compressed representations of video frames and reconstructing them back to the original domain. We evaluated the performance of our DeepPBM in background subtraction on 9 surveillance videos from the background model challenge (BMC2012) dataset, and compared that with a standard subspace learning technique, robust principle component analysis (RPCA), which similarly estimates a deterministic low dimensional representation of the background in videos and is widely used for this application. Our method outperforms RPCA on BMC2012 dataset with 23% in average in F-measure score, emphasizing that background subtraction using the trained model can be done in more than 10 times faster

    Real-Time Semantic Background Subtraction

    Semantic background subtraction SBS has been shown to improve the performance of most background subtraction algorithms by combining them with semantic information, derived from a semantic segmentation network. However, SBS requires high-quality semantic segmentation masks for all frames, which are slow to compute. In addition, most state-of-the-art background subtraction algorithms are not real-time, which makes them unsuitable for real-world applications. In this paper, we present a novel background subtraction algorithm called Real-Time Semantic Background Subtraction (denoted RT-SBS) which extends SBS for real-time constrained applications while keeping similar performances. RT-SBS effectively combines a real-time background subtraction algorithm with high-quality semantic information which can be provided at a slower pace, independently for each pixel. We show that RT-SBS coupled with ViBe sets a new state of the art for real-time background subtraction algorithms and even competes with the non real-time state-of-the-art ones. Note that we provide python CPU and GPU implementations of RT-SBS at https://github.com/cioppaanthony/rt-sbs.Comment: Accepted and Published at ICIP 202

    Dynamic tree-structured sparse RPCA via column subset selection for background modeling and foreground detection

    Video analysis often begins with background subtraction, which consists of creation of a background model that allows distinguishing foreground pixels. Recent evaluation of background subtraction techniques demonstrated that there are still considerable challenges facing these methods. Processing per-pixel basis from the background is not only time-consuming but also can dramatically affect foreground region detection, if region cohesion and contiguity is not considered in the model. We present a new method in which we regard the image sequence to be made up of the sum of a low-rank background matrix and a dynamic tree-structured sparse matrix, and solve the decomposition using our approximated Robust Principal Component Analysis method extended to handle camera motion. Furthermore, to reduce the curse of dimensionality and scale, we introduce a low-rank background modeling via Column Subset Selection that reduces the order of complexity, decreases computation time, and eliminates the huge storage need for large videos

    New Students' Self-Adjustment at Ar-Risalah Islamic Junior High School: Roles and Supporting Factors

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this research is to determine teachers’ roles in improving students' self-adjustment and its supporting factors at Ar-Risalah Islamic Junior High School, Padang, Indonesia. This is qualitative descriptive research with data collected from teachers, students, principals, and other school officials through interview, observation, and documentation. The data collected were analyzed using reduction and triangulation processes. The result showed that the teacher had expertise as a motivator to support and trigger the student enthusiasm in adapting and learning new materials at school. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors of the self-adjustment process were parents that have not been able to let their children go to boarding schools and teachers without psychological backgrounds, because this background are needed for better approach and intervention for children to make them enthusiasm in learning in boarding schoo
