Rethinking Background and Foreground in Deep Neural Network-Based Background Subtraction

Recently, deep neural networks have demonstrated excellent performance in foreground segmentation tasks such as moving object detection and change detection tasks. Various types of neural networks have been proposed, however, the previous works mainly discuss the accuracy. Analytics of the neural networks is important to utilize them effectively and improve their performance. In this paper, we investigate a foreground segmentation network and background subtraction network. In our analysis, we discuss differences of behaviors of the two networks in specific scenes and feature distributions in each layer of a background subtraction network to investigate feature learning. In addition, we provide suggestions about the comparison with these networks.
