Moving Object Detection Based on Improved ViBe Algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, an improved ViBe background subtraction algorithm is proposed for dealing with ghost problem during the process of moving object detection. The ghost areas in image can be detected based on the theory that the histogram distributions of ghost areas have similarity distribution characteristics. However, the histogram distributions of real moving objects change with the real objects moving. The influence of ghost areas on moving object detection is eliminated. The improved ViBe, the original ViBe and the Gauss mixture model are compared and analyzed, The results show that the improved ViBe can effectively eliminate ghost areas, and has high real-time.
