  • Foreground and background detection method
    Patent number: 10706558
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for assigning a pixel to one of a foreground pixel set and a background pixel set using asynchronous semantic post processing to improve motion detection by an imaging device, the pixel belonging to an image of a chronological sequence of images taken by the imaging device that includes background and foreground objects.
    Type: Grant

  • Foreground and background detection method
    Patent number: 10614736
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for assigning a pixel to one of a foreground pixel set and a background pixel set. In this method, if a first condition is met the pixel is assigned to the background pixel set, and if the first condition is not met and a second condition is met, the pixel is assigned to the foreground pixel set. The method comprises a step (S100) of calculating a probability that the pixel belongs to a foreground-relevant object according to a semantic segmentation algorithm, the first condition is that this probability that the pixel belongs to a foreground-relevant object does not exceed a first predetermined threshold, and the second condition is that a difference between this probability that the pixel belongs to a foreground-relevant object and a baseline probability for the pixel equals or exceeds a second predetermined threshold.
