Eq.\ref{Bi} is a projection of the attribute vector $I_i$ in the eigenspace spanned by the first $k_c$ eigenbackgrounds, being $\textbf{b}$ the coefficient vector of the combination. In the standard EIG method the number of eigenbackgrounds retained $k_c$ is chosen by fixing a threshold for the last eigenvalue $\lambda_{k_c}$ retained. The background obtained $B_i$ are then subtracted to the original image and a moving object is identified as the regions of the images in which $I_i-B_i$ is…

The intrusion of Avant-Garde ideology is believed to be the stepping stone that led to the success of the Abstract Expressionist in New York in the 1940’s-50’s. Artists of the AB-EX movement looked at works by archaic civilizations in search for eternal compositions.

work of art like this or similar to this. This painting is very effective in provoking the emotion of sadness and the feel of darkness (Nazi Germany). I also think that he was effective in creating an abstract expressionist work of art because even though it resembles a skeleton, even though abstract art should not resemble anything actual or imagined, you can also tell that he very passionate, which is conveyed more through action rather than…
