一种基于颜色和纹理特征的阴影检测新方法

his paper describes a new method for shadow detection of moving objects in video surveillance applications, improving the detection performance and fascinating the following image processing steps, such as object tracking, classification and behavior analysis. This method is based on the priori that shadow region and background region share the similar textural and chromatic characteristics. This method combines the virtues of color and texture features, to select the best criterion to discriminate shadow pixels from object pixels. Experiment shows that this method can achieve desirable performance under indoor and outdoor environment.
