Ten-LoPP: Tensor locality preserving projections approach for moving object detection and tracking

Abstract

In recent years, automatic moving object detection and tracking is a challenging task for many computer vision applications such as video surveillance, traffic monitoring and activity analysis. In this regard, many methods have been proposed based on different approaches. Despite of its importance, moving object detection and tracking in complex environments is still far from being completely solved for low resolution videos, foggy videos, and also Infrared video sequences. A novel scheme for Moving Object detection based on Tensor Locality Preserving Projections (Ten-LoPP) approach is proposed. Consequently, a Moving Object is tracked based on the centroid and area of a detected object. Numbers of experiments are conducted for indoor and outdoor video sequences of standard PETS, OTCBVS, Videoweb Activities datasets and also our own collected video sequences comprising partial night vision video sequences. Results obtained are satisfactory and competent. Comparative study is performed with existing well known traditional subspace learning methods. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
