Abstract

In this paper we propose an efficient foreground detection algorithm based on a new color space model and morphological filtering. This model uses each pixel¡¯s color distortion and brightness distortion to detect the candidate foreground pixels. The color distortion considers the vector¡¯s position in color space so that it can assemble the color features effectively. Also shadow elimination process removes the moving shadow. By applying it to background subtraction, we get a comparative complete foreground object. For complex background, the post-processing and the filtering stage helps achieve better results. We have tested the presented algorithm with a variety of videos with various background and results clearly show the efficiency of the algorithm proposed.
