Hi everyone,

I am coding a program using background subtraction applying MoG2 method to detect moving objects. I have referred this program. However it cannot be applied if there is people's shadow or light noise. How can I remove them?

Thanks!

If you keep the shadow detection parameter as true, you'd get a gray area like this:

Threshold this image to remove the gray areas and make it black. As for removing the noise, you'll have to try different morphological operations like dialation and erosion to get rid of it. This is the result for the image above:

Hi bro, Use threshold() to remove the gray areas?

Successfully. I know how to remove the gray areas. Set the correct value when use threshold

Yup,threshold(). A value of around 200 for the thresh parameter and 255 for the maxVal parameter would work.

And if still small light fragments occur, apply some erosion and dilation to your problem!

It makes thinner or fat. But How does it support?

Because, if you have the first image, you see this ramdomn noise spots. Some of them might also have a very high value, and thus get through your threshold. Applying a erosion+dilation combination will remove those but keep your large blob!

I also think so @SetevenPuttemans
