Shadow Detection Of Moving Objects In Traffic Monitoring Video

Moving object detection is an important application of computer vision. Commonly used foreground separation algorithms such as Gaussian mixture modeling, ViBe, frame difference method, etc., do not consider the color of shadow and recognize the shadow of a moving object as a part of the moving object. In many cases, the shadow detection effect is not good. Focus on the detection of moving object shadows in traffic surveillance videos, this paper improves the existing ViBe algorithm, considers the color characteristics of the shadows, recognizes the shadows as part of the background, gains a smaller amount of calculation and better effect of shadow detection with the advantages of ViBe.
