tb_running_gaussian_background — 2D typed op

Data kinds: videovideo

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_running_gaussian_background", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

tb_running_gaussian_background: input → output

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*

Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

tb_running_gaussian_background: knob a sweep (docs site)

Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

tb_running_gaussian_background: knob b sweep (docs site)

Stages (the ops that come before → this op, left to right):

tb_running_gaussian_background: stages (docs site)

On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

tb_running_gaussian_background: other inputs (docs site)

Motion (GIF: frames / views / slices in turn. The still figure is the complete one; the GIF is supplementary):

tb_running_gaussian_background: animation

Usage

Adaptive single-Gaussian background (the running mean) per frame → `(T, H, W) (video`).

画素ごとに平均 `mean と分散 var` を持つ単一ガウス背景(Wren の Pfinder)を

回し、各フレーム後の `mean` を返す。前景判定は

`(frame - mean)^2 > k^2 varselective=True`(既定)では前景と判定した画素の

`mean / var` を更新しないので、ゆっくり動く物体が背景に溶けない。

更新式は `mean += α diffvar += α (diff^2 - var)var` の下限は 1e-4。

• `video: (T, H, W) 配列か 2-D フレームの list。整数は最大値で [0, 1]`

に正規化、float はクリップ。NaN/Inf は `ValueError`。

• `alpha: [0, 1]` の学習率。既定 0.02(時定数およそ 50 枚)。

• `k: [0, 100]`。前景とみなす標準偏差の倍数。既定 2.5。

• `var_init: [1e-9, 1]。先頭フレームでの分散の初期値([0, 1]` 強度の 2 乗)。

小さすぎると 2 枚目から全画素が前景になり、`selective` で更新が止まる。

• `selective: 前景画素の更新を止めるか。False` なら全画素を常に更新。

• 返り値: `(T, H, W) float64。t = 0` は先頭フレームそのもの。

• 失敗: `ValueError`(形・dtype・各範囲)。

同じモデルの前景マスクは `running_gaussian_foreground`(同じ引数で対にすると

フレームごとに整合する)。

2-D 進化レジストリへ橋渡しした videostream の op `running_gaussian_background。実装は同じで、呼び出し規約だけ op(v, a, b) に合わせてある。aalpha(既定 0.02)、bk`(既定 2.5)を振る。

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

The examples below call the underlying ledger op running_gaussian_background. This bridge op is the same implementation adapted to the fn(v, a, b) convention, so the behaviour carries over unchanged (only the call form differs).
