## Detailed Description

Gaussian Mixture-based Background/Foreground Segmentation Algorithm.

The class implements the Gaussian mixture model background subtraction described in [229] and [228] .

## Member Function Documentation

## § apply()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::apply | ( | InputArray | image,
|  | OutputArray | fgmask,
|  | double | learningRate = `-1`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Python:
| fgmask | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.apply( | image[, fgmask[, learningRate]] | )

Computes a foreground mask.

Parameters

  image | Next video frame. Floating point frame will be used without scaling and should be in range \([0,255]\).
  fgmask | The output foreground mask as an 8-bit binary image.
  learningRate | The value between 0 and 1 that indicates how fast the background model is learnt. Negative parameter value makes the algorithm to use some automatically chosen learning rate. 0 means that the background model is not updated at all, 1 means that the background model is completely reinitialized from the last frame.

Implements cv::BackgroundSubtractor.

Examples:
  samples/cpp/segment_objects.cpp.

## § getBackgroundRatio()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getBackgroundRatio | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getBackgroundRatio( |  | )

Returns the "background ratio" parameter of the algorithm.

If a foreground pixel keeps semi-constant value for about backgroundRatio*history frames, it's considered background and added to the model as a center of a new component. It corresponds to TB parameter in the paper.

## § getComplexityReductionThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getComplexityReductionThreshold | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getComplexityReductionThreshold( |  | )

Returns the complexity reduction threshold.

This parameter defines the number of samples needed to accept to prove the component exists. CT=0.05 is a default value for all the samples. By setting CT=0 you get an algorithm very similar to the standard Stauffer&Grimson algorithm.

## § getDetectShadows()

virtual bool cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getDetectShadows | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getDetectShadows( |  | )

Returns the shadow detection flag.

If true, the algorithm detects shadows and marks them. See createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2 for details.

## § getHistory()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getHistory | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getHistory( |  | )

Returns the number of last frames that affect the background model.

## § getNMixtures()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getNMixtures | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getNMixtures( |  | )

Returns the number of gaussian components in the background model.

## § getShadowThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getShadowThreshold | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getShadowThreshold( |  | )

Returns the shadow threshold.

A shadow is detected if pixel is a darker version of the background. The shadow threshold (Tau in the paper) is a threshold defining how much darker the shadow can be. Tau= 0.5 means that if a pixel is more than twice darker then it is not shadow. See Prati, Mikic, Trivedi and Cucchiara, Detecting Moving Shadows...*, IEEE PAMI,2003.

## § getShadowValue()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getShadowValue | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getShadowValue( |  | )

Returns the shadow value.

Shadow value is the value used to mark shadows in the foreground mask. Default value is 127. Value 0 in the mask always means background, 255 means foreground.

## § getVarInit()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarInit | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getVarInit( |  | )

Returns the initial variance of each gaussian component.

## § getVarMax()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarMax | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getVarMax( |  | )

## § getVarMin()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarMin | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getVarMin( |  | )

## § getVarThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarThreshold | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getVarThreshold( |  | )

Returns the variance threshold for the pixel-model match.

The main threshold on the squared Mahalanobis distance to decide if the sample is well described by the background model or not. Related to Cthr from the paper.

## § getVarThresholdGen()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::getVarThresholdGen | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.getVarThresholdGen( |  | )

Returns the variance threshold for the pixel-model match used for new mixture component generation.

Threshold for the squared Mahalanobis distance that helps decide when a sample is close to the existing components (corresponds to Tg in the paper). If a pixel is not close to any component, it is considered foreground or added as a new component. 3 sigma => Tg=3*3=9 is default. A smaller Tg value generates more components. A higher Tg value may result in a small number of components but they can grow too large.

## § setBackgroundRatio()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setBackgroundRatio | ( | double | ratio | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.setBackgroundRatio( | ratio | )

Sets the "background ratio" parameter of the algorithm.

## § setComplexityReductionThreshold()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setComplexityReductionThreshold | ( | double | ct | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.setComplexityReductionThreshold( | ct | )

Sets the complexity reduction threshold.

## § setDetectShadows()

| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.setDetectShadows( | detectShadows | )

Enables or disables shadow detection.

## § setHistory()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setHistory | ( | int | history | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.setHistory( | history | )

Sets the number of last frames that affect the background model.

## § setNMixtures()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2::setNMixtures | ( | int | nmixtures | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.setNMixtures( | nmixtures | )

Sets the number of gaussian components in the background model.

The model needs to be reinitalized to reserve memory.

## § setShadowThreshold()

| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2.setShadowThreshold( | threshold | )

Sets the shadow threshold.
