Using the samples having more popular and various intensity values in the training sequence, a nonparametric model is built for background subtraction. According to the related intensifies, different weights are given to the distinct samples in kernel density estimation. This avoids repeated computation using all samples, and makes computation more efficient in the evaluation phase. Experimental results show the validity of the diversity- sampling scheme and robustness of the proposed model in moving objects segmentation. The proposed algorithm can be used in outdoor surveillance systems.展开更多

Two recent reviews[1,2] showed that kernel density estimation(KDE) method and Gaussian mixture model(GMM) perform about equally best among possible background models. For KDE, the selection of kernel functions and their bandwidths greatly influence the performance. There were few attempts to compare the adequacy of functions for KDE. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of various functions for KDE. Functions tested include almost everyone cited in the literature and a new function, Laplacian of Gaussian(LoG) is also introduced for comparison. All tests were done on real videos with vary-ing background dynamics and results were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Effect of different bandwidths was also investigated.展开更多
