Motion-Based Background Subtraction Using Adaptive Kernel Density Estimation

Abstract

Background modeling is an important component of many vision systems. Existing work in the area has mostly addressed scenes that consist of static or quasi-static structures. When the scene exhibits a persistent dynamic behavior in time, such an assumption is violated and detection performance deteriorates. In this paper, we propose a new method for the modeling and subtraction of such scenes. Towards the modeling of the dynamic characteristics, optical flow is computed and utilized as a feature in a higher dimensional space. Inherent ambiguities in the computation of features are addressed by using a data-dependent bandwidth for density estimation using kernels. Extensive experiments demonstrate the utility and performance of the proposed approach.
