Spatiotemporal GMM for Background Subtraction with Superpixel Hierarchy.

We propose a background subtraction algorithm using hierarchical superpixel segmentation, spanning trees and optical flow. First, we generate superpixel segmentation trees using a number of Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) by treating each GMM as one vertex to construct spanning trees. Next, we use the M-smoother to enhance the spatial consistency on the spanning trees and estimate optical flow to e...
