Background and foreground modeling is a typical method in the application of computer vision. The current general “low-rank + sparse” model decomposes the frames from the video sequences into low-rank background and sparse foreground. But the sparse assumption in such a model may not conform with the reality, and the model cannot directly reflect the correlation between the background and foreground either. Thus, we present a novel model to solve this problem by decomposing the arranged data matrixDinto low-rank backgroundLand moving foregroundM. Here, we only need to give the priori assumption of the background to be low-rank and let the foreground be separated from the background as much as possible. Based on this division, we use a pair of dual norms, nuclear norm and spectral norm, to regularize the foreground and background, respectively. Furthermore, we use a reweighted function instead of the normal norm so as to get a better and faster approximation model. Detailed explanation based on linear algebra about our two models will be presented in this paper. By the observation of the experimental results, we can see that our model can get better background modeling, and even simplified versions of our algorithms perform better than mainstream techniques IALM and GoDec.

Background modeling of video frame sequences is a prerequisite for computer vision applications. Robust principal component analysis(RPCA), which aims to recover low rank matrix in applications of data mining and machine learning, has shown improved background modeling performance. Unfortunately, The traditional RPCA method considers the batch recovery of low rank matrix of all samples, which leads to higher storage cost. This paper proposes a novel online motion-aware RPCA algorithm, named OM-RPCAT, which adopt truncated nuclear norm regularization as an approximation method for of low rank constraint. And then, Two methods are employed to obtain the motion estimation matrix, the optical flow and the frame selection, which are merged into the data items to separate the foreground and background. Finally, an efficient alternating optimization algorithm is designed in an online manner. Experimental evaluations of challenging sequences demonstrate promising results over state-of-the-art methods in online application.

Key and difficult points of background subtraction method lie in looking for an ideal background modeling under complex scene. Stacking the individual frames as columns of a big matrix, background parts can be viewed as a low-rank background matrix because of large similarity among individual frames, yet foreground parts can be viewed as a sparse matrix as foreground parts play a small role in individual frames. Thus the process of video background modeling is in fact a process of low-rank matrix recovery. Background modeling based on low-rank matrix recovery can separate foreground images from background at the same time without pre-training samples, besides, the approach is robust to illumination changes. However, there exist some shortcomings in background modeling based on low-rank matrix recovery by analyzing numerical experiments, which is developed from three aspects.

Background modeling has been proven to be a promising method of hyperspectral anomaly detection. However, due to the cluttered imaging scene, modeling the background of an hyperspectral image (HSI) is often challenging. To mitigate this problem, we propose a novel structured background modeling-based hyperspectral anomaly detection method, which clearly improves the detection accuracy through exploiting the block-diagonal structure of the background. Specifically, to conveniently model the multi-mode characteristics of background, we divide the full-band patches in an HSI into different background clusters according to their spatial-spectral features. A spatial-spectral background dictionary is then learned for each cluster with a principal component analysis (PCA) learning scheme. When being represented onto those dictionaries, the background often exhibits a block-diagonal structure, while the anomalous target shows a sparse structure. In light of such an observation, we develop a low-rank representation based anomaly detection framework that can appropriately separate the sparse anomaly from the block-diagonal background. To optimize this framework effectively, we adopt the standard alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm. With extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets, the proposed method achieves an obvious improvement in detection accuracy, compared with several state-of-the-art hyperspectral anomaly detection methods.

In order to effectively detect dim-small targets in complex scenes, background suppression is applied to highlight the targets. This paper presents a statistical clustering partitioning low-rank background modeling algorithm (SCPLBMA), which clusters the image into several patches based on image statistics. The image matrix of each patch is decomposed into low-rank matrix and sparse matrix in the SCPLBMA. The background of the original video frames is reconstructed from the low-rank matrices, and the targets can be obtained by subtracting the background. Experiments on different scenes show that the SCPLBMA can effectively suppress the background and textures and equalize the residual noise with gray levels significantly lower than that of the targets. Thus, the difference images obtain good stationary characteristics, and the contrast between the targets and the residual backgrounds is significantly improved. Compared with six other algorithms, the SCPLBMA significantly improved the target detection rates of single-frame threshold segmentation.

Video background modeling is an important preprocessing stage for various applications, and principal component pursuit (PCP) is among the state-of-the-art algorithms for this task. One of the main drawbacks of PCP is its sensitivity to jitter and camera movement. This problem has only been partially solved by a few methods devised for jitter or small transformations. However, such methods cannot handle the case of moving or panning cameras in an incremental fashion. In this paper, we greatly expand the results of our earlier work, in which we presented a novel, fully incremental PCP algorithm, named incPCP-PTI, which was able to cope with panning scenarios and jitter by continuously aligning the low-rank component to the current reference frame of the camera. To the best of our knowledge, incPCP-PTI is the first low-rank plus additive incremental matrix method capable of handling these scenarios in an incremental way. The results on synthetic videos and Moseg, DAVIS, and CDnet2014 datasets show that incPCP-PTI is able to maintain a good performance in the detection of moving objects even when panning and jitter are present in a video. Additionally, in most videos, incPCP-PTI obtains competitive or superior results compared to state-of-the-art batch methods.
