LRSLibrary

Low-Rank and Sparse tools for Background Modeling and Subtraction in Videos.

The LRSLibrary provides a collection of low-rank and sparse decomposition algorithms in MATLAB. The library was designed for motion segmentation in videos, but it can be also used (or adapted) for other computer vision problems (for more information, please see this page). Currently the LRSLibrary offers more than 100 algorithms based on matrix and tensor methods. The LRSLibrary was tested successfully in several MATLAB versions (e.g. R2014, R2015, R2016, R2017, on both x86 and x64 versions). It requires minimum R2014b.

Install

Just do the following steps:

  • First, clone the repository:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/andrewssobral/lrslibrary.git

  • Then, open your MATLAB and run the following setup script:

>> lrs_setup

That's all!

GUI

The LRSLibrary provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for background modeling and subtraction in videos. First, run the setup script lrs_setup (or run('C:/lrslibrary/lrs_setup')), then run lrs_gui, and enjoy it!

(Click in the image to see the video)

Each algorithm is classified by its cpu time consumption with the following icons:

The algorithms were grouped in eight categories: RPCA for Robust PCA, ST for Subspace Tracking, MC for Matrix Completion, TTD for Three-Term Decomposition, LRR for Low-Rank Representation, NMF for Non-negative Matrix Factorization, NTF for Non-negative Tensor Factorization, or TD for standard Tensor Decomposition.

CPU time consumption

The figure below shows the average CPU time consumption and the speed classification of each algorithm to decompose a 2304x51 matrix or 48x48x51 tensor data. Both matrix and tensor data were built from dataset/demo.avi file. The experiments were performed in a Intel Core i7-3740QM CPU 2.70GHz with 16Gb of RAM running MATLAB R2013b and Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bits.

A complete review evaluating the algorithms in many specific criterias will be published in a paper journal soon

About LRSLibrary

The LRSLibrary has been developed by Andrews Sobral thanks especially to Thierry Bouwmans for his continued support and for collaborating on this important initiative. I'm grateful to all authors who have contributed in some way to the success of the LRSLibrary.

How to contribute with LRSLibrary project

Everyone is invited to cooperate with the LRSLibrary project by sending to us any implementation of low-rank and sparse decomposition algorithms.

Option 1: email it to me (andrewssobral at gmail dot com).

Option 2: fork the library on GitHub, push your changes, then send me a pull request.

For the Option 2 you can follow the instructions below:

  1. Create the algorithm folder in lrslibrary/algorithms/XYZ/ where "XYZ" is one of the following methods: RPCA (for Robust PCA), ST (for Subspace Tracking), MC (for Matrix Completion), LRR (for Low Rank Recovery), TTD (for Three-Term Decomposition), NMF (for Non-Negative Matrix Factorization), NTF (for Non-Negative Tensor Factorization), and TD (for Tensor Decomposition).

  2. Create a run_alg.m script file to execute your algorithm, all run_alg.m files are called automatically by the lrslibrary and each of them receives a full rank matrix/tensor named "M" or "T" for a matrix-based or a tensor-based algorithm, respectively. For the matrix M, each column is a vectorized version of a gray-scale frame. The number of columns in M is the number of frames given a video, and the number of rows represents the number of pixels in the frame. For the tensor T each frontal slice represents a frame given a video.

2.1) For the matrix/tensor completion case you need to define a random sub-sampling matrix/tensor named "Idx" that indicates which elements from the input matrix/tensor (M or T) are observed (setting 1's and 0's for observed and unobserved elements, respectively).

  1. The output of your run_alg.m script file are a matrix/tensor named "L" that represents the low-rank component, and a matrix/tensor named "S" that represents the sparse components.

  2. The last step is to add your algorithm details in the lrs_algorithms.dat file (open it as text file): https://github.com/andrewssobral/lrslibrary/blob/master/lrs_algorithms.dat For example: XYZ | ABB | NAME_REFERENCE | SPEED_CLASS where:

  • XYZ is one of the following options: RPCA, ST, MC, LRR, TTD, NMF, NTF, or TD.
  • ABB abbreviation name for your method, i.e: APG for Accelerated Proximal Gradient.
  • NAME_REFERENCE the full name of your method and reference, i.e: Accelerated Proximal Gradient (Lin et al. 2009).
  • SPEED_CLASS represents the speed classification of your algorithm for the demo case. For this, you need to compare the CPU time consumption of your algorithm from all others following this section: https://github.com/andrewssobral/lrslibrary#cpu-time-consumption

i.e.: RPCA | FPCP | Fast PCP (Rodriguez and Wohlberg, 2013) | 1

That's all ;-)
