Abstract
The proposed work is targeted toward improving the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for the background suppression-based moving object detection. The GMM has been widely used for moving object detection due to its high applicability. However, the GMM cannot properly model noisy or nonstationary backgrounds and fails to discriminate between the foreground and background modes. The extensions to GMM provide increased accuracy in expense of complex implementation and reduced applicability. In response, this work proposes two simple improvements: 1) a novel distance measure based on local support weights and histogram of gradients to provide distinct cluster values; and 2) use of background layer concept to properly segment the foreground. The method also uses variable number of clusters for generalization. The main advantages of the method are implicit use of pixel relationships through distance measure with least modification to the conventional GMM and effective background noise removal through the use of background layer concept with no postprocessing involved. The extensive experimentations on various types of video sequences are performed to validate the improvement in accuracy compared to the GMM and a number of state-of-the-art methods.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
