/**
 * SECTION:element-segmentation
 *
 * This element creates and updates a fg/bg model using one of several approaches.
 * The one called "codebook" refers to the codebook approach following the opencv
 * O'Reilly book [1] implementation of the algorithm described in K. Kim,
 * T. H. Chalidabhongse, D. Harwood and L. Davis [2]. BackgroundSubtractorMOG [3],
 * or MOG for shorts, refers to a Gaussian Mixture-based Background/Foreground
 * Segmentation Algorithm. OpenCV MOG implements the algorithm described in [4].
 * BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 [5], refers to another Gaussian Mixture-based
 * Background/Foreground segmentation algorithm. OpenCV MOG2 implements the
 * algorithm described in [6] and [7].
