Abstract

Moving shadow detection is a fundamental step in video-surveillance applications since it is generally confused with foreground. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical non-parametric method to detect moving shadow in a road traffic image sequences. We consider a diagonal model to describe the shadow distortion in the RGB color space. A Support Vector Domain Description (SVDD) algorithm is applied in the color ratios space in order to discriminate shaded pixels from foreground.
