%% usage
% Some modules are written by C++, and you should recompile them if you run
% it with errors, Like as follows:
%>> mex update_Z.cpp
%>> mex reconstructImage.cpp

% readPath = './images'; % the path reading images
% savePath = './results'; % the path saving results, including background images and component images
% mog_IR_detection(readPath, savePath, temporal_step, patch, param, lr_prior, mog_prior)

close all;
clear all;
clc;
%% parameter setting
% patch parameter
temporal_step = 3;   % temporal sliding length and it is 3 frames at default.
patch.step = 5;
patch.size = 50; % 
patch.length = 3; % the number of frames for patching

%% model parameter
param.mog_k = 3; % the component number and it is 3 components at default
param.lr_init = 'SVD';
param.maxiter = 200;
param.initial_rank = 30;
param.tol = 1e-3;
lr_prior.a0 = 1e-6;
lr_prior.b0 = 1e-6;   

mog_prior.mu0 = 0;
mog_prior.c0 = 1e-6;
mog_prior.d0 = 1e-6;
mog_prior.alpha0 = 1e-6;
mog_prior.beta0 = 1e-6;

%% begin to process one image sequence
readPath = './images'; % the path reading images
savePath = './results'; % the path saving results, including background images and component images
