Abstract

In this paper, foreground detection is performed by scene interpretation. A natural scene in different illumination conditions is characterized by scene context which contains spatial and appearance representations. The spatial representation is obtained in two steps. First, the large homogenous regions in each sample image are extracted using local and global dominant color histograms (DCH). Then, the latent semantic regions of the scene are generated by combining the coincident regions in the segmented images. The appearance representation is learned by the probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) model with local DCH visual words. The scene context is then applied to interpret incoming images from the scene. For a new image, its global appearance is first recognized and then the pixels are labelled under the constraint of the scene appearance. The proposed method has been tested on various scenes under different weather conditions and very promising results have been obtained.
