## Detailed Description

K-nearest neighbours - based Background/Foreground Segmentation Algorithm.

The class implements the K-nearest neighbours background subtraction described in [220] . Very efficient if number of foreground pixels is low.

## Member Function Documentation

## § getDetectShadows()

virtual bool cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getDetectShadows | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getDetectShadows( |  | )

Returns the shadow detection flag.

If true, the algorithm detects shadows and marks them. See createBackgroundSubtractorKNN for details.

## § getDist2Threshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getDist2Threshold | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getDist2Threshold( |  | )

Returns the threshold on the squared distance between the pixel and the sample.

The threshold on the squared distance between the pixel and the sample to decide whether a pixel is close to a data sample.

## § getHistory()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getHistory | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getHistory( |  | )

Returns the number of last frames that affect the background model.

## § getkNNSamples()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getkNNSamples | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getkNNSamples( |  | )

Returns the number of neighbours, the k in the kNN.

K is the number of samples that need to be within dist2Threshold in order to decide that that pixel is matching the kNN background model.

## § getNSamples()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getNSamples | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getNSamples( |  | )

Returns the number of data samples in the background model.

## § getShadowThreshold()

virtual double cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getShadowThreshold | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getShadowThreshold( |  | )

Returns the shadow threshold.

A shadow is detected if pixel is a darker version of the background. The shadow threshold (Tau in the paper) is a threshold defining how much darker the shadow can be. Tau= 0.5 means that if a pixel is more than twice darker then it is not shadow. See Prati, Mikic, Trivedi and Cucchiara, Detecting Moving Shadows...*, IEEE PAMI,2003.

## § getShadowValue()

virtual int cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::getShadowValue | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Python:
| retval | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.getShadowValue( |  | )

Returns the shadow value.

Shadow value is the value used to mark shadows in the foreground mask. Default value is 127. Value 0 in the mask always means background, 255 means foreground.

## § setDetectShadows()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setDetectShadows | ( | bool | detectShadows | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setDetectShadows( | detectShadows | )

Enables or disables shadow detection.

## § setDist2Threshold()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setDist2Threshold | ( | double | _dist2Threshold | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setDist2Threshold( | _dist2Threshold | )

Sets the threshold on the squared distance.

## § setHistory()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setHistory | ( | int | history | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setHistory( | history | )

Sets the number of last frames that affect the background model.

## § setkNNSamples()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setkNNSamples | ( | int | _nkNN | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setkNNSamples( | _nkNN | )

Sets the k in the kNN. How many nearest neighbours need to match.

## § setNSamples()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setNSamples | ( | int | _nN | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setNSamples( | _nN | )

Sets the number of data samples in the background model.

The model needs to be reinitalized to reserve memory.

## § setShadowThreshold()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setShadowThreshold | ( | double | threshold | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setShadowThreshold( | threshold | )

Sets the shadow threshold.

## § setShadowValue()

virtual void cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN::setShadowValue | ( | int | value | ) |
| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.BackgroundSubtractorKNN.setShadowValue( | value | )

Sets the shadow value.
