Abstract: The deficiency of Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is the high computation cost and cannot deal with the shadow and ghosting. An improved foreground detection algorithm based on GMM is proposed in this paper. By analyzing the stability of the background, intermittent or continuous frame updating is chose to update the parameters of the GMM.It can efficiently reduce the runtime of the algorithm. In the background updating,the updating rate is associated with the weight and this makes it change with the weight.The background pixels which appear after the objects moving set a larger updating rate.It can improve the stability of the background and solve the problem of ghosting phenomenon and the transformation of background and foreground.After objects detection,the algorithm eliminates the shadow based on the RGB color space distortion model and treats the result by Gauss Pyramid filtering and morphological filtering.Through the whole process,a better contour is obtained. The experimental results show that this algorithm has improved the calculation efficiency and accurately segmented the foreground object.
