Moving object segmentation has its own niche as an important topic in computer vision. It has avidly being pursued by researchers. Background subtraction method is generally used for segmenting moving objects. This method may also classify shadows as part of detected moving objects. Therefore, shadow detection and removal is an important step employed after moving object segmentation. However, these methods are adversely affected by changing environmental conditions. They are vulnerable to sudden illumination changes, and shadowing effects. Therefore, in this work we propose a faster, efficient and adaptive background subtraction method, which periodically updates the background frame and gives better results, and a shadow elimination method which removes shadows from the segmented objects with good discriminative power.

Most scenes in practical applications are dynamic scenes containing moving objects, so accurately segmenting moving objects is crucial for many computer vision applications. In order to efficiently segment all the moving objects in the scene, regardless of whether the object has a predefined semantic label, we propose a two-level nested octave U-structure network with a multi-scale attention mechanism, called U2-ONet. U2-ONet takes two RGB frames, the optical flow between these frames, and the instance segmentation of the frames as inputs. Each stage of U2-ONet is filled with the newly designed octave residual U-block (ORSU block) to enhance the ability to obtain more contextual information at different scales while reducing the spatial redundancy of the feature maps. In order to efficiently train the multi-scale deep network, we introduce a hierarchical training supervision strategy that calculates the loss at each level while adding knowledge-matching loss to keep the optimization consistent. The experimental results show that the proposed U2-ONet method can achieve a state-of-the-art performance in several general moving object segmentation datasets.
