I don't think background subtraction means what you think it does. Background subtraction refers to the subtraction of neighboring frames of a video sequence in order to find moving objects in a video sequence. So, yes segmentation is a more general and difficult problem than background subtraction, but it is in no way relevant to the task described in the article.
- mistercow 13y agoImage segmentation is exactly what they are trying to do. You can quibble about the exact definition of "background subtraction", but it doesn't change the fact that they are reinventing the wheel over a solved problem.
- ddt83 13y agoRight, image segmentation is the correct terminology. Background subtraction is incorrect. I don't think it's quibbling to point that out.
