Many background modelling approaches are based on mixtures of multivariate Gaussians with diagonal covariance matrices. This often yields good results, but complex backgrounds are not adequately captured, and post-processing techniques are needed. Here we propose the use of mixtures of uniform distributions and multivariate Gaussians with full covariance matrices. These mixtures are able to cope with both dynamic backgrounds and complex patterns of foreground objects. A learning algorithm is derived from the stochastic approximation framework, which has a very reduced computational complexity. Hence, it is suited for real time applications. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms the classic procedure in several benchmark videos.
