Hello Everyone,
I am a student who has been drafted to work on a moving object segmentation project. If i have a series of frames that make up a video, how can i select the best frame from the lot to use as a background frame for my background subtraction?
Many thanks!
Obi.

Assuming that most of the frame is background and that the objects
move quickly through the frame and that most of the time, over the
course of the movie, each pixel is showing the background, then I'd
probably take the mode of all the frames. Each pixel should be the
mode of all the pixels over time for that pixel location. Make sense?
