Query: Background subtraction - separating the modeling and the inference   In its early implementations, background modeling was a process of building a
model for the background of a video with a stationary camera, and identifying
pixels that did not conform well to this model. The pixels that were not
well-described by the background model were assumed to be moving objects. Many
systems today maintain models for the foreground as well as the background, and
these models compete to explain the pixels in a video. In this paper, we argue
that the logical endpoint of this evolution is to simply use Bayes' rule to
classify pixels. In particular, it is essential to have a background
likelihood, a foreground likelihood, and a prior at each pixel. A simple
application of Bayes' rule then gives a posterior probability over the label.
The only remaining question is the quality of the component models: the
background likelihood, the foreground likelihood, and the prior. We describe a
model for the likelihoods that is built by using not only the past observations
at a given pixel location, but by also including observations in a spatial
neighborhood around the location. This enables us to model the influence
between neighboring pixels and is an improvement over earlier pixelwise models
that do not allow for such influence. Although similar in spirit to the joint
domain-range model, we show that our model overcomes certain deficiencies in
that model. We use a spatially dependent prior for the background and
foreground. The background and foreground labels from the previous frame, after
spatial smoothing to account for movement of objects,are used to build the
prior for the current frame.
