Abstract

Background modeling has been a challenging task in computer vision applications. Most of the approaches use the intensity space to do the background modeling. This basic assumption is not valid in the case of illumination changes. So, we have changed from the intensity space to the order space. We look on the patch (neighborhood of pixels) and build the model using the order among the pixels in it. The model built by us has more impact on the center part of the patch. Hence we have used the concept of overlapping of patches to make it more robust. The results have been shown on the standard PETS dataset as well as dataset collected by us using the camera setup in the outdoor environment. We have implemented it on GPU(NVIDIA Tesla C1060 Processor) to increase the throughput and we are able to achieve the 25X speed compared to CPU.
