Motion Saliency

Abstract

DefinitionMotion saliency helps to detect moving objects whose motion is discontinuous to its background.IntroductionVideo analysis applied to surveillance is a growing research area in computer vision. The recent rapid expand in the number of surveillance cameras has led to a strong demand for algorithms able to process their responses. The scientific challenge is to invent and implement automatic systems for obtaining detailed information about the activities and behaviors of people or vehicles observed by stationary or moving cameras. In many applications, simple low level information about the positions of people and vehicles is useful. However, the full benefits of video surveillance will only be realized with the development of wide area networks of cameras capable of building up high level descriptions of scene activity over time1
