Functional Description
This software implements a generic background subtraction algorithm for video and RGB-D cameras, which can take feedback from people detection and tracking processes. Embedded in a people detection framework, it does not classify foreground / background at pixel level but provides useful information for the framework to remove noise. Noise is only removed when the framework has all the information from background subtraction, classification and object tracking. In our experiment, our background subtraction algorithm outperforms GMM, a popular background subtraction algorithm, in detecting people and removing noise.
