public interface BackgroundAlgorithmBasic

Performs background subtraction on an image using the very simple per-pixel "basic" model, as described in [1]. A simple image is used to represent the background. Each pixel is updated individually using the formula below:

B(i+1) = (1-α)*B(i) + αI(i)
Where B is the background image, I is the current observed image, and α is the learning rate 0 to 1. Where 0 is static and 1 is instant.

If a specific pixel has not been observed before it will be set to the value of the equivalent pixel in the input image.
