Auto-TLDR; DOPP: Dynamic Object Presence Probabilistic Background Subtraction for Foreground Segmentation
Abstract Slides Poster Similar
Foreground segmentation technologies play an important role in applications such as free-viewpoint video (FVV) and sports video analysis. In this situation, we propose a new method that achieves accurate foreground silhouette extraction using dynamic object presence probability (DOPP). Our main contributions are as follows. 1) Object presence probability for each pixel is calculated from the object recognition results based on deep learning. After that, background subtraction is implemented by changing the threshold and the update rate of the background model in response to the object presence probability. Parameter tuning of background subtraction is executed by using the object recognition results to improve the silhouette extraction quality. 2) To calculate more accurate silhouette images, parameters of background subtraction are adjusted by monitoring optical flows between consecutive frames. The object presence probability of the current frame is dynamically updated by using the object presence probability of the previous frame with optical flows. In the experiments, we confirmed that the proposed method achieved more accurate silhouette extraction than conventional methods in three sports sequences.
