Shadow Elimination Algorithm Using Color and Texture Features

Algorithm 1

The proposed shadow detection and removal algorithm.

	Input: video
	Output: moving object with shadow removed
	For t = 1 to T
	establish the background of video frame by Gaussian mixture model
	End for
	For t = T to Tvideo
	(1) extract the shadowed moving object S1 by Gaussian mixture model and the established background
	(2) detect the shadow S2 of moving object by (4)
	(3) calculate the binary image B1 with shadow removed by (11)
	(4) calculate the binary image B2 with shadow removed by (18)
	(5) calculate the binary image B3 by
	(6) obtain the final binary image B with shadow removed by B = B1 OR B2 OR B3
	End for
