“…Many of these specific mechanisms [8,31,40,62,83,84,101] rely on the analysis of the edges of both the current image and a BG image (point estimate of the BG that is typically obtained from the BG model). The intuition is that, in many cases, if the BG is covered with a A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T SFO the number of edges in the image will grow.…”
