\\In this work the technique was customized for the detection of the moving membrane. At the scope, the backgrounds are constructed considering only the time varying part, $B_i=\Phi_{k_c} \, \textbf{b}$, having rank $k_c$ computed from the distribution of energy …show more content…
the percentage of rank retained. The criteria to select the cut-off rank $k_{c}$ is based on the observation that $\delta(\hat{k})$ tends to be linear as the contributes of each eigenbackgrounds tend to be equal, i.e. for a fairly uncorrelated noise. Fig.\ref{Sigma_FIG}.b shows the cut-off rank obtained by imposing a tolerance on the second derivative $d^2 \delta/ d \hat{k}^2<10^-3$. For the examples in Fig.\ref{Snap}, this criteria gives $k=23$ for the $PIV$ sequence, $k=35$ for the $IPT$ sequence, showing that the former is more easily compressed than the latter. Fig.\ref{Sigma_FIG}.b shows the background images $B_i$ corresponding to these examples. Remarkably, the decomposition proposed is able to detect the membrane motion in the PIV images using only the two matrix multiplications in eq.\ref{Bi}. On the other hand, the method is not equally effective with the FV video, as a large portion of the flow also shows a high spatial and temporal coherence. Refining the decomposition to remove these portions is the purpose of the HIGL routine that
