Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for color correction of images. One or more colors in an image obtained from a static video camera are corrected by obtaining one or more historical background models from one or more prior images obtained from the static video camera; obtaining a live background model and a live foreground model from one or more current images obtained from the static video camera; generating a reference image from the one or more historical background models; and processing the reference image, the live background model, and the live foreground model to generate a set of color corrected foreground objects in the image. The set of color corrected foreground objects is optionally processed to classify a color of at least one of the foreground objects.
