The class discriminates between foreground and background pixels by building and maintaining a model of the background. Any pixel which does not fit this model is then deemed to be foreground. The class implements algorithm described in [MOG]_.
The class discriminates between foreground and background pixels by building and maintaining a model of the background. Any pixel which does not fit this model is then deemed to be foreground. The class implements algorithm described in [MOG2]_.
Here are important members of the class that control the algorithm, which you can set after constructing the class instance:
..ocv:member:: float backgroundRatio
Threshold defining whether the component is significant enough to be included into the background model ( corresponds to ``TB=1-cf`` from the paper??which paper??). ``cf=0.1 => TB=0.9`` is default. For ``alpha=0.001``, it means that the mode should exist for approximately 105 frames before it is considered foreground.
..ocv:member:: float varThreshold
Threshold for the squared Mahalanobis distance that helps decide when a sample is close to the existing components (corresponds to ``Tg``). If it is not close to any component, a new component is generated. ``3 sigma => Tg=3*3=9`` is default. A smaller ``Tg`` value generates more components. A higher ``Tg`` value may result in a small number of components but they can grow too large.
..ocv:member:: float fVarInit
Initial variance for the newly generated components. It affects the speed of adaptation. The parameter value is based on your estimate of the typical standard deviation from the images. OpenCV uses 15 as a reasonable value.
..ocv:member:: float fVarMin
Parameter used to further control the variance.
..ocv:member:: float fVarMax
Parameter used to further control the variance.
..ocv:member:: float fCT
Complexity reduction parameter. This parameter defines the number of samples needed to accept to prove the component exists. ``CT=0.05`` is a default value for all the samples. By setting ``CT=0`` you get an algorithm very similar to the standard Stauffer&Grimson algorithm.
..ocv:member:: uchar nShadowDetection
The value for marking shadow pixels in the output foreground mask. Default value is 127.
..ocv:member:: float fTau
Shadow threshold. The shadow is detected if the pixel is a darker version of the background. ``Tau`` is a threshold defining how much darker the shadow can be. ``Tau= 0.5`` means that if a pixel is more than twice darker then it is not shadow. See [ShadowDetect]_.
..ocv:member:: bool bShadowDetection
Parameter defining whether shadow detection should be enabled.
