Detailed Description

Gaussian Mixture-based Background/Foreground Segmentation Algorithm.

The class implements the Gaussian mixture model background subtraction described in [189] and [188] .

Member Function Documentation

getBackgroundRatio()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getBackgroundRatio ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the "background ratio" parameter of the algorithm.

If a foreground pixel keeps semi-constant value for about backgroundRatio*history frames, it's considered background and added to the model as a center of a new component. It corresponds to TB parameter in the paper.

getComplexityReductionThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getComplexityReductionThreshold ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the complexity reduction threshold.

This parameter defines the number of samples needed to accept to prove the component exists. CT=0.05 is a default value for all the samples. By setting CT=0 you get an algorithm very similar to the standard Stauffer&Grimson algorithm.

getDetectShadows()

virtual bool cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getDetectShadows ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the shadow detection flag.

If true, the algorithm detects shadows and marks them. See createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2 for details.

getHistory()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getHistory ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the number of last frames that affect the background model.

getNMixtures()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getNMixtures ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the number of gaussian components in the background model.

getShadowThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getShadowThreshold ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the shadow threshold.

A shadow is detected if pixel is a darker version of the background. The shadow threshold (Tau in the paper) is a threshold defining how much darker the shadow can be. Tau= 0.5 means that if a pixel is more than twice darker then it is not shadow. See Prati, Mikic, Trivedi and Cucchiarra, Detecting Moving Shadows...*, IEEE PAMI,2003.

getShadowValue()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getShadowValue ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the shadow value.

Shadow value is the value used to mark shadows in the foreground mask. Default value is 127. Value 0 in the mask always means background, 255 means foreground.

getVarInit()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarInit ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the initial variance of each gaussian component.

getVarMax()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarMax ( ) const

pure virtual

getVarMin()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarMin ( ) const

pure virtual

getVarThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarThreshold ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the variance threshold for the pixel-model match.

The main threshold on the squared Mahalanobis distance to decide if the sample is well described by the background model or not. Related to Cthr from the paper.

getVarThresholdGen()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarThresholdGen ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the variance threshold for the pixel-model match used for new mixture component generation.

Threshold for the squared Mahalanobis distance that helps decide when a sample is close to the existing components (corresponds to Tg in the paper). If a pixel is not close to any component, it is considered foreground or added as a new component. 3 sigma => Tg=3*3=9 is default. A smaller Tg value generates more components. A higher Tg value may result in a small number of components but they can grow too large.

setBackgroundRatio()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setBackgroundRatio ( double  ratio )

pure virtual

Sets the "background ratio" parameter of the algorithm.

setComplexityReductionThreshold()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setComplexityReductionThreshold ( double  ct )

pure virtual

Sets the complexity reduction threshold.

setDetectShadows()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setDetectShadows ( bool  detectShadows )

pure virtual

Enables or disables shadow detection.

setHistory()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setHistory ( int  history )

pure virtual

Sets the number of last frames that affect the background model.

setNMixtures()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setNMixtures ( int  nmixtures )

pure virtual

Sets the number of gaussian components in the background model.

The model needs to be reinitalized to reserve memory.

setShadowThreshold()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setShadowThreshold ( double  threshold )

pure virtual

Sets the shadow threshold.

setShadowValue()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setShadowValue ( int  value )

pure virtual

Sets the shadow value.

setVarInit()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setVarInit ( double  varInit )

pure virtual

Sets the initial variance of each gaussian component.

setVarMax()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setVarMax ( double  varMax )

pure virtual

setVarMin()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setVarMin ( double  varMin )

pure virtual

setVarThreshold()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setVarThreshold ( double  varThreshold )

pure virtual

Sets the variance threshold for the pixel-model match.

Examples:

segment_objects.cpp.

setVarThresholdGen()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setVarThresholdGen ( double  varThresholdGen )

pure virtual

Sets the variance threshold for the pixel-model match used for new mixture component generation.
