In order to overcome the problems of high time-consuming and poor recognition accuracy of learning behaviour recognition, this paper proposes an abnormal learning behaviour recognition method for MOOC online education based on background subtraction. Firstly, the characteristics of students' abnormal learning behaviours are collected and extracted. Then, the background difference algorithm is used to obtain the foreground object and background of the learning image, and the image pixels are classified. Finally, the mean background method is used to obtain the learning background, the abnormal ...
