Abstract: | Moving object segmentation is one of the most challenging issues in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm
for static camera foreground segmentation. It combines Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and active contours method, and produces
much better results than conventional background subtraction methods. It formulates foreground segmentation as an energy minimization
problem and minimizes the energy function using curve evolution method. Our algorithm integrates the GMM background model,
shadow elimination term and curve evolution edge stopping term into energy function. It achieves more accurate segmentation
than existing methods of the same type. Promising results on real images demonstrate the potential of the presented method.
