TimeViewer, a Tool for Visualizing the Problems of the Background Subtraction

Abstract

Abstract. This paper is about the TimeViewer tool that facilitates understanding of the most common problems in Background Subtraction. The tool displays patterns of each frame, and through the historical values of the pixels allows for visual identification of changes in a sequence of pixels. The paper demonstrates the usefulness of TimeViewer by showing how it visually presents the most common Background Subtraction problems.
