Abstract

We consider the problem of 3D modeling under the environments where colors of the foreground objects are similar to the background, which poses a difficult problem of foreground and background classification. A purely image-based algorithm is adopted in this paper, with no prior information about the foreground objects. We classify foreground and background by fusing the information at the pixel and region levels to obtain the similarity probability map, followed by a Bayesian sensor fusion framework to infer the space occupancy grid. The estimation of the occupancy allows incremental updating once a new observation is available, and the contribution of each observation can be adjusted according to its reliability. Finally, three parameters in the algorithm are analyzed in detail and experiments show the effectiveness of this method.
