Abstract

In this paper we address the context of visual surveillance in outdoor environments involving the detection of moving objects in the observed scene. In particular, a reliable foreground segmentation, based on a background subtraction approach, is explored. We firstly address the problem arising when small movements of background objects, as trees blowing in the wind, generate false alarms. We propose a background model that uses a supervised training for coping with these situations. In addition, in real outdoor scenes the continuous variations of lighting conditions determine unexpected intensity variations in the background model parameters. We propose a background updating algorithm that work on all the pixels in the background image, even if covered by a foreground object. The experiments have been performed on real image sequences acquired in a real archeological site.
