Abstract

In this paper, we present an improvement non-parametric background modeling and foreground segmentation. This method is important; it gives the hand to check many states kept by each background pixel. In other words, generates the historic for each pixel, indeed on certain computer vision applications the background can be dynamic; several intensities were projected on the same pixel. This paper describe a novel approach which integrate both Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of each image to increase the compactness density distribution and hybrid color space suitable to this case constituted by the three relevant chromatics levels deduced by histogram analysis. In fact the proposed technique presents the efficiency of SVD and color information to subtract background pixels corresponding to shadows pixels. This method has been applied on colour images issued from soccer video. In the other hand to achieve some statistics information about players ongoing of the match (football, handball, volley ball, Rugby...) as well as to refine their strategy coach and leaders need to have a maximum of technical-tactics information. For this reason it is prominent to elaborate an algorithm detecting automatically interests color regions (players) and solve the confusion problem between background and foreground every moment from images sequence.
