一种基于Boosting判别模型的运动阴影检测方法

在视频处理中,由于运动阴影具有与运动前景相同的特性,当在提取前景时,会误把阴影检测为前景.特别是当阴影和其它前景发生粘连时,这可能会严重地影响跟踪、识别等后续处理.该文提出了一种用于运动阴影检测的Boosting判别模型.这种方法先利用Boosting在不同的特征空间来区分前景和阴影,然后在判别随机场(DRFs)中结合前景和阴影的时空一致性,实现对前景和阴影的分割.首先,差分前图像与背景图像得到颜色不变子空间和纹理不变子空间;然后在这两个子空间上应用Boosting来区分前景和阴影;最后利用前景和阴影的时空一致性,在判别随机场中通过图分割的方法准确地分割前景和阴影.实验结果表明,无论是在室内场景,还是在室外场景,该文的方法要好于传统的方法.

A Boosting Discriminative Model for Moving Cast Shadow Detection

Moving cast shadow causes serious problem while segmenting and extracting foreground from image sequences, due to the misclassification of moving shadow as foreground. This paper proposes a Boosting discriminative model to eliminate cast shadow on Discriminative Random Fields (DRFs). The method combines different features for Boosting to discriminate cast shadow from moving objects, then temporal and spatial coherence of shadow and foreground are incorporated on Discriminative Random Fields and the problem can be solved by graph cut. Firstly, moving objects are obtained by background subtraction; secondly, shadow candidates can be derived through pre-processing moving objects, in terms of the shadow physical property; thirdly, color information and texture information is derived by comparing shadow and foreground points in current image with corresponding points in background image, which are selected as features for Boosting; finally, temporal and spatial coherence of shadow and foreground is employed on Discriminative Random Fields and discriminate shadow and foreground by graph cut accurately.
