Advanced Moving Camera Object Detection

Abstract

Assuming a moving camera, detection of moving objects is a challenging task. This is mainly due to the difficulties to distinguish between objects motion and background motion, introduced by the camera. The proposed real time system, based on previous work without camera movement, is able to discriminate well the two kind of motions, thanks to a robust global motion vector removal, which preserves objects identified in the previous steps. The system reaches high performances just using input Optical Flow, without any assumptions about environmental conditions and camera motion.
