ABSTRACT
The detection of moving objects is the basic low-level operation in video analysis. This basic operation (also called “background subtraction”or BS) consists of separating the moving objects called “foreground” from the static information called “background.”The background subtraction is a key step in many fields of computer vision applications, such as video surveillance to detect persons, vehicles, animals, etc., human-computer interface, motion detection, and multimedia applications. Many BS methods have been developed over the last few years [54], [7], [8] and several implementations in C++ are available in the BGSLibrary56 [52]. The main resources can be found at the Background Subtraction Web Site.57
