Embodiment 1

[0038] The invention provides a method for extracting video foreground images, referring to figure 2 As shown in , the method includes:

[0039] S101. Extract foreground pixels from a current frame image of a video stream according to a grayscale image-based GMM model to obtain a first set of pixels.

[0040] Specifically, refer to image 3 As shown in , step S101 includes steps S1011-S1014:

[0041] S1011. Convert the current frame image from an RGB image to a grayscale image.

[0042] S1012. Extract foreground pixels from the above grayscale image according to the GMM model.

[0043] The GMM model based on grayscale images is as follows:

[0044] Let I(x, y, t) represent the pixel gray value of the pixel point (x, y) at time t, then we have

Abstract

The invention discloses a video foreground image extraction method and device, relates to the field of computer vision, and is used for solving the problem that image segmentation is difficult to perform by using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) when the image foreground is similar to the background grayscale of the image. The method comprises the steps that foreground pixel points are extracted from the present frame of image according to the GMM so that a first pixel point set is obtained; the background reference image of a video stream is determined, and the image is transformed to an HSV color space from an RGB color space so that a background HSV image is obtained; the present frame of image is transformed to the HSV color space from the RGB color space so that the present frame of HSV image is obtained; the Euclidean distance of the HSV value of the pixel points of the same coordinates in the present frame of HSV image and the background HSV image on an HS plane is calculated, and a set formed by the pixel points locating in the same coordinates in the present frame of image acts as a second pixel point set if the Euclidean distance is greater than a first threshold; and the foreground image is obtained according to the first pixel point set and the second pixel point set. The video foreground image extraction method and device are applied to foreground image extraction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer vision, in particular to a method and device for extracting video foreground images. Background technique [0002] In order to extract the foreground image in the video, the background must be removed first. There are three typical methods: optical flow method, frame difference method and background subtraction method. Among them, the background subtraction method is the most widely used video foreground extraction method, but this method is sensitive to illumination and has poor adaptability. Therefore, in response to this shortcoming of the background subtraction method, the researchers proposed a background modeling model and a segmentation strategy, that is, a background subtraction method based on a Gaussian mixture model (English full name: Gaussian mixture model, English abbreviation: GMM). [0003] However, this algorithm is usually carried out in the hardware-oriented RGB color space. When the m...
