Abstract

This paper presents a new background subtraction approach to identifying the various changes of objects in a sequence of images. A background is modelled as the probability distribution of pixel positions given intensity clusters, which is constructed from a given sequence of images. Each pixel position in a new image is then identified with either a background or a foreground, depending on its value from probability distribution of pixel positions representing a background. The presented approach is illustrated using two examples. As compared to traditional intensity-based approaches, this approach is shown to be robust to dynamic textures and various changes of illumination.
