Abstract

We investigate effective means of building robust dictionaries for detecting the sparse foreground in videos with static background. This work is an extension to our existing solution [1] to foreground/background segmentation problem using the linear programming method [2] proposed to detect sparse errors in signals, which are created by a known dictionary. The dictionary building methods we study are established robust component analysis techniques in the literature (i.e. k-SVD [3] & robust-PCA [4]) as well as a heuristic (running median) inspired by the highly correlated nature of the static video background signal. We compare the effectiveness of the new methods with our original system as well as a baseline method, which is the commonly used single Gaussian model of the background pixels.
