public interface BackgroundAlgorithmGmm

Background model in which each pixel is modeled as a Gaussian mixture model. The number of Gaussians in the mixture is determined dynamically. If a pixel value is encountered which doesn't match any mixture then a new Gaussian is added. Gaussians are removed when their weight becomes negative. See [1] for details.

Tuning Parameters:

  • learningPeriod: Specifies how fast a Gaussian changes. Larger values is slower learning. Try 100
  • decayCoef: Adjusts how quickly a Gaussian's weight is reduced. Try 0.001
  • maxGaussian: Maximum number of Gaussian models. Try 10
  • initial variance The initial variance assigned to pixels when they are first observed. By default this is Float.MIN_VALUE.
