An exposure guided background subtraction (EGBS) model is proposed for smart cameras to handle illumination change due to auto-exposure in visual surveillance. To reduce false foreground pixels caused by auto-exposure, EGBS compensates background illumination directly utilizing the information generated by auto-exposure module without extra illumination change estimation. Hence, it is very preferable for smart camera without any extra hardware resources. Experimental results indicate the proposed model efficiently reduces false foreground pixels caused by auto-exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
