Background Initialization with A New Robust Statistical Approach [PDF]

open access: yes2005 IEEE International Workshop on Visual Surveillance and Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance, 2006
Initializing a background model requires robust statistical methods as the task should be robust against random occurrences of foreground objects, as well as against general image noise. The median has been employed for the problem of background initialization. However, the median has only a breakdown point of 50%.
