Background modeling (or representation) describes the kind of model used to represent the background.
The simplest way to model the background is to acquire a background image which doesn't include any moving object. In some environments, the background isn’t available and can always be changed under critical situations like illumination changes, objects being introduced or removed from the scene. To take into account these problems of robustness and adaptation, traditional background modeling methods can be classified in the following categories:
Basic Background Modeling (43 papers)
Statistical Background Modeling (607 papers)
Background Modeling via Clustering (109 papers)
Neural Network Background Modeling (81 papers)
Background Estimation (25 papers)
