Detection of Moving Objects with Fuzzy Color Coherence Vector

Abstract EN

Background subtraction is a popular method for detecting foreground that is widely adopted as the fundamental processing for advanced applications such as tracking and surveillance.

Color coherence vector (CCV) includes both the color distribution information (histogram) and the local spatial relationship information of colors.

So it overcomes the weakness of the conventional color histogram for the representation of an object.

In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy color coherence vector (FCCV) based background subtraction method.

After applying the fuzzy c-means clustering to color coherence subvectors and color incoherence subvectors, we develop a region-based fuzzy statistical feature for each pixel based on the fuzzy membership matrices.

The features are extracted from consecutive frames to build the background model and detect the moving objects.

The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
