Abstract

In this paper, a dynamic background modeling and hence foreground detection technique using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) of spatio-temporal patches of dynamic texture (DT) is proposed. Existing methods for background modeling cannot adequately distinguish movements in both background and foreground, that usually characterizes any dynamic scene. Therefore, in most of these methods, the separation of the background from foreground requires precise tuning of parameters or an apriori model of the foreground. The proposed method aims to differentiate between global from local motion by attributing the video using spatio-temporal patches of DT modeled using a typical GMM framework. In addition to alleviating the aforementioned limitations, the proposed method can cope with complex dynamic scenes without the need for training or parameter tuning. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the method compared against competing baselines have demonstrated the superiority of the method and the robustness against dynamic variations in the background.
