Background substraction in grayscale images algorythm

An improvement of J.C.S. Jacques, C.R. Jung, S.R. Musse background subtraction and shadow detection in grayscale video sequences method [1] is proposed. Described improvements reduce amount of false positive results of background subtraction (especially in light and monotonous areas) and its sizes, improve background model quality, provide better outcome results.
