Multiple layer based background maintenance in complex environment
A fast and efficient multiple layer background maintenance model is built to conserve the original and the current background separately. Fusing the properties of object motion in image pixels and the changes between the input video and the multiple background layers, this method could handle various sources of scene changes, including ghosts, abandon objects and illumination changes. An intelligent video surveillance system is developed to test the performance of the algorithm. Experiments are performed using long video sequences under different conditions indoor and outdoor. The results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and efficient in real-time and accurate background maintenance in complex environment.
