Moving cast shadows of moving objects significantly degrade the performance of many high-level computer vision applications such as object tracking, object classification, behavior recognition and scene interpretation. Because they possess similar motion characteristics with their objects, moving cast shadow detection is still challenging. In this paper, we present a novel moving cast-shadow detection framework based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) to efficiently distinguish shadow points from the foreground object. First, according to the physical model of shadows, pixel-level features of different channels in different color spaces and region-level features derived from the spatial correlation of neighboring pixels are extracted from the foreground. Second, an ELM-based classification model is developed by labelled shadow and un-shadow points, which is able to rapidly distinguish the points in the new input whether they belong to shadows or not. Finally, to guarantee the integrity of shadows and objects for further image processing, a simple post-processing procedure is designed to refine the results, which also drastically improves the accuracy of moving shadow detection. Extensive experiments on two publicly common datasets including 13 different scenes demonstrate that the performance of the proposed framework is superior to representative state-of-the-art methods.
