Description
Summary:Motion segmentation is a fundamental step for vehicle detection especially in urban traffic surveillance systems. Temporal frame differencing is the simplest and fastest technique that is used to identify foreground moving vehicles from static background scene. Conventional techniques utilize background modelling and subtraction, which involves poor adaptation under slow or temporarily stopped vehicles. To address this problems cumulative frame differencing (CFD) is proposed. Dynamic threshold value based on the standard deviation of CFD is used to estimate global variance of the motion accumulated variations of pixel intensity. The tests of the proposed technique achieve robust and accurate vehicle segmentation, which improves detection of slow motion, temporary and long term stopped vehicles, moreover, it enables the real-time capability.
