Background Subtraction via Superpixel-Based Online Matrix Decomposition with Structured Foreground Constraints
Résumé
Background subtraction process plays a very essential role for various computer vision tasks. The process becomes more critical when the input scene contains variation of pixels such as swaying trees, rippling of water, illumination variations, etc. Recent methods of matrix decomposition into low-rank (e.g., corresponds to the background) and sparse (e.g., constitutes the moving objects) components such as Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA), have been shown to be very efficient framework for background subtraction. However, when the size of the input data grows and due to the lack of sparsity-constraints, these methods cannot cope with the real-time challenges and always show a weak performance due to the erroneous foreground regions. In order to address the above mentioned issues, this paper presents a superpixel-based matrix decomposition method together with maximum norm (max-norm) regularizations and structured spar-sity constraints. The low-rank component estimated from each homogeneous region is more perfect, reliable, and efficient , since each superpixel provides different characteristics with a reduced value of rank. Online max-norm based matrix decomposition is employed on each segmented su-perpixel to separate the low rank and initial outliers support. And then, the structured sparsity constraints such as the generalized fussed lasso (GFL) are adopted for exploiting structural information continuously as the foreground pixels are both spatially connected and sparse. We propose an online single unified optimization framework for detecting foreground and learning the background model simultaneously. Rigorous experimental evaluations on challenging datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed scheme in terms of both accuracy and computational time.
