Moving Target Detection Based on Improved Gaussian Mixture Background Subtraction in Video Images 10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2946230.

In recent years, background subtraction techniques have been used in vision and image applications for moving target detection. However, most methods cannot provide ne results due to dynamic backgrounds, noise, etc. The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is a background modelling method commonly used in moving target detection. The traditional GMM method is vulnerable to noise interference, especially from dynamic backgrounds; thus, its detection performance is not good. Because of the influence of background noise and dynamic effects on moving target detection, we propose a method of moving target detection for dynamic backgrounds based on improved GMM background subtraction. This method can be divided into three stages. First, in the background modeling stage, to facilitate calculation and improve modeling speed, the video frame is blocked, and the background model is reconstructed using the image block averaging method. Second, in the moving target detection stage, the method of combining wavelet semi-threshold function denoising with mathematical morphology closed operation is used for denoising, which effectively eliminates the influence of noise and improves the detection effect. Third, in the background updating stage, the adaptive background updating method is used to update the background to improve detection results. The
simulation results show that the improved method can reduce noise and dynamic background interference while improving moving target detection, thereby proving the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed
method.
