Video Background Subtraction Based on Dynamic Group Sparsity

.Introduction

Background subtracted images are typical DGS data. They generally correspond to the interested foreground objects. Compared with the whole scene, they tend to be not only spatially sparse but also cluster into dynamic groups, although the sparsity number and group structures are not known. As we know, the sparsity number must be provided in most of current recovery algorithms, which make them impractical for this problem. In contrast, the proposed AdaDGS can apply well to this task since it not only can automatically learn the sparsity number and group structures but also is a fast enough greedy algorithm.
